This taken up writ petition arises out of the petition, dated 16-11- 2006, by the elder brother of one Sri N.Seetaramulu, aged about 19 years, who was missing from nine months since he left the Hostel on the pretext of meeting his friends, to the Hon'ble the Chief Justice, High Court of Andhra Pradesh, Hyderabad. The complaint of the petitioner was that in spite of the complaints to the Commissioner of Police, Cyberabad, and the concerned Police Station, no action was taken by the police and his information was that his brother was kept in Cherlapally Jail. 3. A counter-affidavit has been filed by the Inspector of Police, Uppal Police Station, Cyberabad Police Commissionerate, admitting the lodging of a complaint by the petitioner, registration of Crime No.229 of 2006 on the file of Uppal Police Station, and consequent steps that were taken for effective investigation into the allegations. He claimed that apart from telecasting in Doordarshan about the missing of the boy, all the Station House Officers in Cyberabad, Hyderabad and Telangana Region, were alerted, through Radio message on 3-4-2006, about the missing boy. He stated that extensive enquiries were made by the Investigating Officer by himself and through his subordinates and their efforts did not fructify, so far, in tracing the boy. The Inspector of Police further stated that the suspect one Sri Balraj, who is from the same village of the petitioner, was also missing since long time and when he was examined on 5-10-2006, no useful information could be obtained. He also stated that the authorities of Cherlapally Jail were also verified concerning the suspicion that the missing boy was lodged in the said Jail and neither the oral verification of the officials nor the verification of the records of the said Jail disclosed the custody of any such boy. He further stated that even the unknown dead bodies were verified by the Investigating Officer. 4. Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case and in view of the assurance given by the Investigating Officer that necessary steps to trace out the petitioner’s brother are being taken, we are of the considered opinion that it is no longer necessary to keep the writ petition pending and appropriate directions can be given to the Commissioner of Police, Cyberabad, in respect of the petitioner’s grievance. 5. Under the above circumstances, the Commissioner of Police, Cyberabad, is directed to personally monitor the further investigation in Crime No.229 of 2006 of Uppal Police Station, Cyberabad, till its successful completion in tracing out the missing boy, as expeditiously as possible, and he shall report to the Registrar (Judicial) of this Court, as regards the progress that is being achieved in the further investigation. 6. The writ petition is closed, at the stage of admission, with the above said directions. There shall be no order as to costs. ________________________ JUSTICE D.S.R.VARMA ______________________________ JUSTICE G.BHAVANI PRASAD 02-01-2007. Msr.
