HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.3256 of 2011 ORDER: This writ petition is filed seeking directions by way of mandamus to declare the inaction on the part of the respondents in registering and investigating the complaint filed by the petitioner on 4.8.2010 as illegal and arbitrary. The petitioner herein has submitted a complaint on 4.8.2010 to the Assistant Commissioner of Police, Banjara Hills Police Station, Hyderabad, the 1st respondent herein, stating that he is a resident of Plot No. 76, Ramnagar, P&T Nagar Extension,Madurai, Tamil Nadu and was running a B.P.O. centre in the name of M/s. DELCOSYS. In the complaint, the petitioner has stated that in the month of November, 2008, he came into contact with one Kiran, who claimed himself as the Managing Director of M/s. Georgeous Technologies at Nagendra Nagar, HMT road Habsiguda, Hyderabad, who offered a data entry project, i.e., data conversion at the rate of Rs.15/- per page. Further, he also demanded a sum of Rs.1.00 lakh as caution deposit. The petitioner accepted the said offer and paid the amount. It is also the case of the petitioner that he has incurred further expenditure in continuation of the agreement entered into between them, but the said Kiran has cheated him to the tune of Rs.2,50,000/- by creating a temporary office and mobile numbers. In this writ petition, it is the grievance of the petitioner that though the petitioner lodged a complaint before the police, no action has been taken thereon. Learned Government Pleader, on written instructions, submits that on receipt of the complaint, the petitioner herein was informed by the 1st respondent that the said authority is not having jurisdiction to register the case on the persons named in the complaint. Hence, no case was registered. In view of the fact that the 1st respondent is not having the jurisdiction, no direction can be granted as prayed for. However, If the petitioner wants to file any complaint, he has to approach the concerned Officer, having the area of jurisdiction and file the same. While, leaving it open to the petitioner to file his complaint before the appropriate officer, this writ petition is disposed of. I am sure that if any such complaint is filed before the concerned Officer, having the area of jurisdiction, such officer will examine the said complaint and take suitable steps in accordance with law. Subject to the above observations, the writ petition is disposed of. No costs. ____________________ R. SUBHASH REDDY,J Date: 1st March, 2011 pnb
