It has been the quite frequent complaint by several people that the police are interfering with the civil disputes and are trying to settle the matters at the police station itself, either by threatening or by taking coercive steps. In view of the facts and circumstances, it is directed that the respondents shall verify the veracity of the complaint by conducting necessary inquiry/investigation. In the event of the respondents coming to the definite conclusion, upon such inquiry/investigation, that some offence under the Indian Penal Code is made out, then only the respondents will be at liberty to proceed strictly in accordance with law. With the above observation, the writ petition is closed. ________ 06.04.2005 Jsu To 1 The Superintendent of Police, Medak District at Sangareddy 2 The Deputy Superintendent of Police, Sangareddy, Medak District. 3 The Circle Inspector of Police, Sadasivapet, Medak District. 4 The Sub-Inspector of Police, Sadasivapet Police Station, Medak District. 5 2 CCs to the G.P for Home, High Court Buildings, Hyderabad.
