HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY Writ Petition No.32432 of 2010 Date: December 29, 2010 Between: Narala Chenna Reddy, S/o.Gopal Reddy, aged 50 years, Occ: Business, R/o.Nehrunagar, Cumbum Mandal, Prakasam District … Petitioner And The Station House Officer, Cumbum Police Station, Prakasam District, And others … Respondents Order: This writ petition is filed with a prayer as under: “For the reasons stated in the accompanying affidavit, it is hereby prayed that this Hon’ble Court may be pleased to issue a writ or order or direction more particularly in the nature of Writ of Mandamus, to declare the action of the 1st respondent in not registering the FIR No.175/2010 for the offence under Section 307 IPC as arbitrary and illegal and consequently direct the respondents 1 to 3 to alter the FIR No.175/2010 on the file of the 1st respondent police station by adding Section 307 IPC and conduct investigation with reference to the offence under Section 307 IPC in accordance with law in the interest of justice.” On instructions, it is submitted by the learned Government Pleader appearing on behalf of the respondents that investigation into the crime in question is pending and the complaint as lodged will not attract the ingredients of Section 307 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860 so as to register the crime under that Section. In any event, as the matter is pending investigation and no final report as contemplated under Section 173 Cr.P.C. is filed, this Court is of the opinion that the issue raised by the petitioner need not be examined at this stage. As much as complaint was lodged on 03-10-2010, I dispose of the writ petition directing respondents 1 and 2 to complete investigation in the crime in question as expeditiously as possible, preferably within six weeks from today and file appropriate final report. Needless to observe that during the course of investigation relevant witnesses will be examined. No order as to costs. ___________________ (R. SUBHASH REDDY, J) December 29, 2010 MRR
