THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R.SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.7086 of 2011 ORDER: In this writ petition, petitioner seeks a mandamus declaring the action of the fourth respondent – Station House Officer, Tadepalli Police Station, Tadepalli, Mangalagiri Circle, Guntur District, in not conducting proper investigation in Crime No.46 of 2011, as illegal and arbitrary and consequently, direct the respondents to conduct proper investigation and transfer the said case to any responsible officer or investigating agency and also to cancel the registration of the fifth respondent. Petitioner is the complainant in Crime No.46 of 2011 registered for the offences under Sections 341, 384 and 506 IPC read with 34 IPC on the file of Tadepalli Police Station in Guntur District. She filed a complaint on 29.10.2010 and 06.03.2011 stating that respondents 6 to 10, who are her parents, brothers and sister, have beat her mercilessly, taken away her gold ornaments, cell phone, money etc., and harassed her physically and mentally. It is further stated that they were taken her to the fifth respondent’s hospital for treatment and admitted her in it for more than three months and when her husband asked, respondents 6 to 10 have not stated the whereabouts of her, as such, she requested to take action. Based on her complaint, a case was registered in Crime No.46 of 2011 under Sections 341, 384 and 506 IPC read with 34 IPC against respondents 6 to 10 on the file of Tadepalli Police Station. It is her grievance that in spite of such complaint, no action has been taken. She alleged that she was illegally kept in the hospital of the fifth respondent, who is not having proper degree to run Ayurvedic hospital. Based on written instructions, dated 22.03.2011, sent by the fourth respondent, it is submitted by the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Home appearing for respondents 1 to 4 that in the aforesaid crime, the petitioner as L.W.1 and other witnesses as L.Ws.2 to 7 have been examined and their detailed statements have been recorded. It is further submitted that as per the statements recorded, there are differences between the petitioner and her husband and she is suffering with mental imbalance. It is further stated that for the purpose of medical expenses, the parents of the petitioner had taken her gold ornament and obtained gold loan of Rs.13,000/- from the Chaitanya Godavari Grameena Bank, Penumaka, with the consent of her husband, L.W.6. It is further submitted that so far the investigation conducted in Crime No.46 of 2011 revealed that the accused persons did not beat the petitioner nor extorted her gold. It is also submitted that the fourth respondent filed a petition before the learned Judicial First Class Magistrate, Special Mobile Court, Guntur, seeking to record the statements of L.Ws.2 to 4 under Section 164 Cr.P.C. and the same is posted to 25.03.2011. In view of the investigation so far conducted in the crime in question, it cannot be said that no investigation was conducted on the complaint of the petitioner. As it is stated that the fourth respondent has already moved the learned Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Special Mobile Court, Guntur, seeking to record the statements of L.Ws.2 to 4 under Section 164 Cr.P.C. and the matter is posted to 25.03.2011, I do not find any merit in this writ petition for issuance of directions as prayed for. However, as it is stated that the investigation in Crime No.46 of 2011 is in progress, and some more witnesses are to be examined, I deem it appropriate to direct respondents 1 to 4 to complete the investigation and file final report in Crime No.46 of 2011 as expeditiously as possible, preferably, within a period of four (4) weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Subject to the above directions, the writ petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. ______________________ R.SUBHASH REDDY, J 28th MARCH, 2011. kvni
