The petitioner averred that a criminal case is pending against one Medari Ramaswamy @ Komuraiah, S/o Venkataswamy, R/o Gandhinagar, Husnabad. The petitioner, whose name is Medini Venkataswami, S/o Komuraiah, has nothing to do with the said crime. While the real accused is absconding, respondents 2 and 3 have been allegedly harassing the petitioner to surrender in the Court by claiming that he is the accused in the said criminal case. Learned Assistant Government Pleader for Home, on instructions, submitted that due to some similarity in the names between the accused and the petitioner, the police merely interrogated the petitioner and they never harassed him. She further stated that the petitioner is not the accused and he is not needed in the pending criminal case against Medari Ramaswamy @ Komuraiah. The statement of the learned Assistant Government Pleader is placed on record and the writ petition is, accordingly, disposed of as infructuous. As a sequel to disposal of main petition as infructuous, WPMP No.18279 of 2009 filed by the petitioner for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous.
