THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R.SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.7068 of 2011 ORDER: In this writ petition, petitioner has questioned the action of the respondents in not completing the investigation in Crime No.141 of 2010 registered for the offence under Section 498-A IPC on the file of the second respondent – Station House Officer, Mogalpura Police Station, Hyderabad. In the complaint, the petitioner alleged that she married to one Md.Aleem but her husband was harassing her mentally and physically by beating her, and requested to take action. Based on the said complaint, Crime No.141 of 2010 was registered on 28.08.2010. In this writ petition, it is the grievance of the petitioner that though the crime was registered as early as in August, 2010, no further steps are taken to complete the investigation. Based on the written instructions, it is submitted by the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Home appearing for the respondents that after registration of the aforesaid crime, the petitioner was examined as L.W.1 and her detailed statement was recorded and the respondents have asked the petitioner to produce witnesses to examine them for the purpose of investigation but she failed to produce any witness so far. If the petitioner failed to produce the witnesses, the respondents - police cannot wait indefinitely. As much as Crime No.141 of 2010 was registered in August, 2010, I deem it appropriate to direct the second respondent to complete the investigation therein and file final report within a period of six (6) weeks from today. Subject to the above directions, the writ petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. _______________________ R.SUBHASH REDDY, J 30th MARCH, 2011. Note: issue c.c. by tomorrow. kvni
