S/O.Burraiah, R/O.H.No.1-6-53/1/2, Raod No.37. Narasimha Swamy Temple Street, Chitanya Puri, Dilsukh Nagar, Hyderabad. ..... PETITIONER AND 1 The Commissioner of Police, Vijayawada, Krishna District. 2 The Station House Officer, G-Kondur Police Station. G-Kondur Mandal, Krishna District. .....RESPONDENTS Counsel for the Respondents: AGP FOR HOME The Court made the following : ORDER: This writ petition is filed for a writ of mandamus to declare the inaction of the respondents in registering crime on the petitioner’s complaint as illegal and arbitrary. At the hearing, there is no representation for the petitioner. A perusal of the affidavit filed in support of the writ petition shows that the petitioner gave complaint on 30.10.2007 in respondent No.2 Police Station against his in-laws for aborting his wife’s pregnancy without his knowledge and permission. The petitioner’s grievance is that despite such a complaint having been filed, no action has been taken to register a crime. A copy of the purported complaint does not contain any endorsement of receipt of the original complaint by respondent No.2. At any rate, if the petitioner is aggrieved by the inaction of respondent No.2 in registering a crime on his alleged complaint, he has an effective remedy of filing a private complaint under Section 190 read with Section 200 Cr.P.C. as held by the Supreme Court in Aleque Padamsee and others v. Union of India[1]. In view of the same, the writ petition is dismissed with liberty in terms of the observations made hereinabove. As a sequel to dismissal of main petition, WPMP.No.30904 of 2007 filed by the petitioner for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous.
