IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD (Special Original Jurisdiction) FRIDAY, THE EIGHTEENTH DAY OF JUNE TWO THOUSAND AND TEN PRESENT THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.12609 of 2007 Between: Gandham Sridevi … Petitioner And Superintendent of Police, West Godavari District, Eluru & others. … Respondents Counsel for the Petitioner: None Counsel for respondents 1-4: AGP for Home Counsel for respondents 6,8&9: Sri T.S.N. Murthy The Court made the following: THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.12609 of 2007 ORDER: This writ petition is filed for a Mandamus to declare the inaction of respondent Nos.1 to 4 in investigating and taking appropriate action against respondent Nos.5 to 9 in Crime No.22 of 2007 of Nidadavole Police Station, West Godavari District, as illegal and arbitrary. The petitioner is the wife of respondent No.5. Respondent No.6 is her mother-in-law and respondent Nos.7 to 9 are the children of respondent No.6. Evidently, matrimonial disputes between the petitioner and respondent No.5 have lead to the petitioner filing a private complaint before the II Additional Judicial First Class Magistrate, Rajahmundry, which, on reference under Section 156(3) of the code of Criminal Procedure, 1973, was registered as Crime No.22 of 2007 against respondent Nos.5 to 9. However, the police have filed charge sheet against respondent No.5 alone for the offence under Section 498-A. The grievance of the petitioner is that the police have dropped the case against respondent Nos.6 to 9. In my opinion, it is not possible for this Court to direct the police to file charge sheet against respondent Nos.6 to 9. The petitioner is entitled to file a protest petition, if she feels aggrieved by the police dropping respondent Nos.6 to 9 from the case. Subject to the above observation, the writ petition is dismissed. As a sequel to dismissal of the writ petition, WPMP.No.15704 of 2007 filed by the petitioner for early disposal of the case is also dismissed. __________________________ C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J Date: 18.06.2010.
