At the hearing, the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Home, on instructions, submitted that the report given by the petitioner on missing of her daughter was registered as Crime No.1013 of 2006 and not as Crime No.1014 of 2006, as mentioned in the prayer of the writ petition. She further stated that despite best efforts made by the respondents, the petitioner’s daughter could not be traced and that accordingly final report was filed by respondent No.2 in the Court of Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, Visakhapatnam on 01.12.2008. The learned Assistant Government Pleader is unable to state whether notice was served on the petitioner before filing the final report. If such a notice has not been served so far, respondent No.2 shall serve the same on the petitioner within a period of four weeks from today. On such service of notice, the petitioner is entitled to file a protest petition before the jurisdictional Magistrate. If a notice was already served on the petitioner, it is not necessary for respondent No.2 to serve a fresh notice. Subject to the above directions, the writ petition is dismissed as infructuous. As a sequel to dismissal of the writ petition as infructuous, WPMP.No.21181 of 2007 filed by the petitioner for interim relief is also dismissed. __________________________ C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J Date: 30.06.2010.
