Sunil Kumar. … Petitioner And The Government of Andhra Pradesh, rep. by its Secretary, Department of Home & others. … Respondents HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.19814 of 2009 ORDER: In this writ petition, the petitioner seeks for a writ of Mandamus, declaring the action of 3rd respondent-Station House Officer in calling him to the Police Station and keeping him in custody on 09.09.2009, without registering any case against him, as illegal and arbitrary, and consequently, direct respondents 1 and 2 to conduct appropriate inquiry against the 3rd respondent. At the stage of admission, by an order, dated 16.09.2009, this Court granted directions to the respondents not to call the petitioner to the Police Station, without following due process of law. When the matter is taken up today, on instructions, it is submitted by the learned Government Pleader appearing for respondents, that one Smt.D.Shiva Laxmi wife of D.Manoher, resident of 4-4-401, Gadikhana, Sultan Bazar, Hyderabad, has lodged a complaint against the petitioner on 09.09.2009 in P.S.Sultan Bazar, stating that her tenant, the petitioner herein, was teasing and abusing her daughter by name Veena. It is stated that on such complaint, a petty case was registered against the petitioner in Petty Case No.5385 of 2009 under Section 70-C of the City Police Act, on 09.09.2009 and he was brought to the Police Station on the said date and was released on bail on the same day. It is further stated that a charge sheet is also filed before the learned III Special Metropolitan Magistrate, Hyderabad in STC.No.4335 of 2009 on 08.10.2009 and the same is pending. In view of the information referred above, it cannot be said that the petitioner was called to the Police Station without registering any case against him. On a complaint lodged against him, the petitioner was taken to the Police Station on 09.09.2009 and he was also released on bail on the same day. In that view of the matter, I do not find any ground to entertain this writ petition. The writ petition is devoid of merit and it is accordingly dismissed. No order as to costs. ______________________ R. SUBHASH REDDY, J 17th June 2010 ajr
