THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.15204 of 2007 DATE: 25.06.2010 Between: A.Srirangam Goud …Petitioner and The Commissioner of Police, Cyberabad Commissionerate, Hyderabad. …Respondents COUNSEL FOR THE PETITIONER : SRI C.DAMODAR REDDY COUNSEL FOR THE RESPONDENTS : AGP FOR HOME THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.15204 of 2007 ORDER: This writ petition is filed for the following substantive relief: “For the reasons stated in the accompanying affidavit, it is prayed that this Hon’ble Court may be pleased to pass an order or direction or writ under Article 226 of the Constitution of India, more particularly one in the nature of writ of mandamus declaring the action of the third respondent in not registering a case basing on the reference made by the learned VII Metropolitan Magistrate, Cyberabad, Hayatnagar in C.C.(SR) No.4841 of 2006, dated 26.10.2006 in spite of lapse of about eight months as bad, illegal, arbitrary, unjust, unconstitutional and against the principles of natural justice and consequently direct the respondents to register the case on the above reference in CC (SR) No.4841 of 2006, dated 26.10.2006 made by the learned VII Metropolitan Magistrate, Cyberabad at Hayatnagar and take necessary action against the accused therein.” The grievance of the petitioner in this writ petition is that though the learned VII Metropolitan Magistrate, Cyberabad has forwarded the petitioner’s complaint under Section 156(3) of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 (for short ‘the Code’), respondent No.3 has not registered the criminal case. At the hearing, neither the learned counsel for the petitioner nor the learned Assistant Government Pleader representing the respondents is unable to state whether any action was taken during three years for which the writ petition is pending. With the passage of nearly three years from the time of filing the writ petition, it is reasonable to presume that the police would have filed an appropriate report before the jurisdictional Magistrate. If it has not been done so far, respondents are directed to ensure that necessary legal steps in terms of the procedure prescribed under the Code are taken in the above-mentioned criminal case and appropriate report is filed before the jurisdictional Magistrate, within a period of two (2) months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Subject to the above direction, the writ petition is disposed of. As a sequel to disposal of main petition, WPMP.No.19163 of 2007 filed by the petitioner for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous. C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J 25th JUNE, 2010. kvni
