HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE A. GOPAL REDDY AND HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE P. SWAROOP REDDY WRIT PETITION No.2554 OF 2007 DATE: 04.06.2007 Between: Smt. Kona Venkata Lakshmi ..... PETITIONER AND The Station House Officer, Devarapalle Police Station, Visakhapatnam District & 5 others. .....RESPONDENTS HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE A. GOPAL REDDY AND HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE P. SWAROOP REDDY WRIT PETITION No.2554 of 2007 ORDER: (Per Hon’ble Sri Justice P. Swaroop Reddy) According to petitioner, her marriage with one Kona Satyanarayana Murthy took place on 12.12.1998 and subsequently she filed a case against him in M.C.No.174 of 2003 on the file of Family Court, Visakhapatnam and that after some time i.e. after 14.2.2007 her husband has not been attending the Court and his whereabouts are not known. Even her mother-in-law and her sister- in-law, in spite of best search, could not find his whereabouts. The Sub-Inspector of Police, Kancharapalem Police Station, Visakhapatnam filed a counter affidavit stating that the husband of the petitioner is missing and efforts are being made to trace him out and as and when he is traced out, he would be produced. There is no dispute that the petitioner is at logger heads with her husband and filed a M.C. case against him. Hence, she cannot have any great grievance about his missing. The missing person is a Government Servant and he is not even attending his office. As per the counter filed by the Police, a search made to locate him has become futile and that as and when he is traced out, he would be produced. In the circumstances, the Writ Petition is closed with a direction to the police to continue efforts to trace the missing person. No costs. ________________ A. GOPAL REDDY, J. __________________ P.
