HON’BLE Mr. JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY Writ Petition No.16757 of 2007 Dated: January 21, 2008 Between: K. Madhu, S/o. Veerabadhraiah, aged 35 years, Occ: Private Service, R/o. Flat No.203, Prameela Towers, Kodad, Nalgonda District. … Petitioner And The Station House Officer, Kodad P.S., Nalgonda, and others. … Respondents Order: This writ petition has been filed seeking Mandamus to declare the action of the first respondent in not taking action against the complaint of the petitioner dated 09-01-2007 as arbitrary and illegal. 2. The petitioner filed a private complaint under Section 200 Cr.P.C. before the Judicial First Class Magistrate, Kodad, against respondents 6 and 7 herein, i.e. the Branch Manager and Senior Manager, respectively, of Shriram Chits Pvt. Ltd., Nalgonda, for the alleged offences under Section 420 of the Indian Penal Code & Section 56 of A.P. Chit Funds Ac, 1971. The said complaint was referred to the police under Section 156(3) Cr.P.C., for investigation and the first respondent, Station House Officer, Kodad P.S., registered a case in Cr.No.16/07. 3. The grievance of the petitioner is that in spite of his complaint, no action has been taken by the first respondent. 4. First respondent has filed counter affidavit stating that after the complaint was referred by the Magistrate, a case in Cr.No.16/07 was registered and investigation was taken up. It is stated that during the course of investigation, it was found that the dispute is of civil nature. It is further stated that final report as contemplated under Section 173 Cr.P.C. has also been filed. 5. The petitioner, who is appearing as a party-in-person, submits that after receipt of the final report, learned Magistrate has issued notice, recorded his statement and after taking cognizance of the alleged offences, issued summons to the accused, and the case is numbered as C.C.No.522 of 2007. 6. As much as final report has already been filed by the Police, it cannot be said that no action has been taken on the complaint of the petitioner dated 09-01-2007. As it is stated that against the final report also petitioner has filed his objections and the learned Magistrate, by recording the statement of the petitioner, has issued summons to respondents 6 and 7 herein, no further directions need be issued in this writ petition. 7. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of keeping open to the petitioner to pursue C.C.No.522 of 2007 pending on the file of the learned Judicial First Class Magistrate, Kodad. No order as to costs. __________________________ JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY. January 21, 2008 MRR
