THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No. 29608 of 2010 O R D E R: This Writ Petition is filed seeking a mandamus to declare the action of the 3rd respondent in interfering with the life and liberty of the petitioners as illegal and arbitrary. It is the case of the petitioners that both the petitioners are in love with each other and they married and are staying together peacefully. It is their grievance that in spite of the same, at the instance of the 4th respondent, the mother of the 1st petitioner, the police are interfering with their life and liberty. When this mater came up for admission on 26.11.2010, it was adjourned to enable the learned Government Pleader for Home to obtain instructions in the matter. On instructions, it is submitted by the learned Government Pleader that based on the complaint given by the 4th respondent alleging that her daughter Durga Bhvani, who is a minor, was kidnapped by the 2nd petitioner and three others, a case was registered against the 2nd petitioner in Crime No.270 of 2010 on the file of Rajanagarm Police Station, for the offence under Section 366-A I.P.C. on 01.11.2010 and the investigation into the same is in progress. Here, it is to be noticed that the complaint of the 4th respondent who is the mother of the 1st petitioner is that her daughter is a minor and was kidnapped by the 2nd petitioner. Though it is submitted by the learned counsel for the petitioners that the petitioners married voluntarily, but in view of the allegation of the 4th respondent that her daughter is a minor and a case under Section 366-A I.P.C. in Crime No. 270 of 2010 was also registered against the 2nd petitioner, it is a matter for investigation and such investigation cannot be construed as an interference with the life and liberty of the petitioners. In view of the above factual scenario, it cannot be said that the 3rd respondent is acting by abusing the process of law as alleged by the petitioners. The Writ Petition is devoid of merits and it is accordingly, dismissed. No costs. ---------------------------- (R. SUBHASH REDDY, J) 6th October 2010 ksld
