THE HON'BLE SMT. JUSTICE T.MEENA KUMARI & THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE G. CHANDRAIAH WRIT PETITION NO.27097 OF 2006 Dated: 22.1.2007 Between: Champalal Jain ..... PETITIONER AND 1 The Superintendent of Police, Vijayanagaram and others. Respondents. HON'BLE SMT. JUSTICE T.MEENA KUMARI & THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE G. CHANDRAIAH WRIT PETITION No.27097 of 2006 ORDER: (Per Hon’ble Smt. Justice T. Meena Kumari) The petitioner ﬁled the present writ petition seeking a direction to produce his brother by name Mahaveer Jain, S/o. Mailapchand Jain, who is alleged to be found missing. When the matter has been taken up for hearing, learned Advocate General has submitted that the missing person is a mentally unsound person and the investigation is still in progress and all eﬀorts are being made to trace out the said person. Apart from that, a detailed counter aﬃdavit has been ﬁled by the respondents wherein the respondents have narrated about the eﬀorts made by them to trace out the missing person. On a perusal of the counter aﬃdavit, it is seen that a case in Crime No. 178 of 2006 under the head ‘man missing’ was registered on the ﬁle of the Asst. Sub-Inspector of police, Bobbili P.S. and the same is still in progress. The respondents also stated that their investigations revealed that the missing person is suﬀering from some mental disorder. In view of the averments made in the counter aﬃdavit and in view of the fact that the investigation in the case is still in progress, we feel that no useful purpose would be served in keeping the writ petition pending. Hence, no further orders are required to be passed in the writ petition and the writ petition is accordingly closed. However, this order will not preclude the investigating agency from proceeding with the investigation so far as the crime in question is concerned. ___________________ T.
