IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE OF ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD THE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE D.S.R.VARMA AND THE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE P.LAKSHMANA REDDY WRIT PETITION NO.26063 OF 2006 Dated : January 25, 2007 Between: Smt. Annam Laxmamma Petitioner AND The Station House Officer, T.P. Gudur Police Station, Nellore District and others Respondents THE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE D.S.R.VARMA AND THE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE P.LAKSHMANA REDDY WRIT PETITION NO. 26063 OF 2006 ORAL ORDER: (per THE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE D.S.R. VARMA) Heard the learned Government Pleader for Home, representing the learned Advocate General, appearing for the respondents. 2. This writ petition is taken up on the basis of a letter, dated 29.11.2006, by one Smt. Annam Laxmamma, W/o. Sankaraiah, Gammallapalem, Varigonda Village, T.P. Gudur Mandal, Nellore District, to the Hon’ble the Chief Justice, High Court of Andhra Pradesh, Hyderabad, complaining that her daughter by name Annam Subbamma was taken away by one Gudur Janaki Rami Reddy to Hyderabad in the year 1994, as housemaid, and subsequently the said Gudur Janaki Rami Reddy, is refusing to show her daughter and also threatening her with dire consequences, if the same request is repeated. 3. In pursuance of the notice, issued by this Court, the Sub-Inspector of Police, Thotapalli Gudur Police Station, Nellore District, ﬁled counter-aﬃdavit, stating, inter alia, that the son- in-law of the said Janaki Rami Reddy gave a report complaining that the daughter of the petitioner Kum. Subbamma, committed suicide on 29.10.1995 and basing on the said complaint, a case in Cr.No.336 of 1995 for the oﬀence punishable under Section 174 of the Code of Criminal Procedure was registered by Chikkadpally Police; that after completion of investigation, ﬁnal report was ﬁled before the Special Executive Magistrate, Hyderabad, on 08.01.1996, categorically stating that the inquest was conducted on the dead body of the deceased before mediators and photographs of the corpse were also taken; that the report of postmortem shows that the cause of death was due to hanging and that a copy of the ﬁnal report was also ﬁled along with the present counter-aﬃdavit. The description of other facts, in the counter-aﬃdavit, is not very much relevant, for the purpose of this writ petition. 4. In such circumstances, it is not commendable as to how such a complaint could be given by the petitioner, after a lapse of ten years from the date of death of her daughter, who died by hanging herself. 5. It is clariﬁed that if there are any further doubts about the cause of the death of the deceased or as regards the investigation, done way back in the year 1995, it is always open for the petitioner to take such necessary steps, as are available under law. 6. With the above observations, the writ petition is closed, at the stage of admission. However, there shall be no order as to costs. ______________ D.S.R.Varma, J. ___________________ P.Lakshmana Reddy, J. 25TH JANUARY 2007 MAS/KRK
