THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE B.SESHASAYANA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.15389 of 2010 ORDER: This petition has been filed by Sri P.Paramappa Naidu seeking mandamus declaring the inaction of the respondents in not providing gunmen with suitable carbon weapons, as illegal, arbitrary and unconstitutional. The petitioner is the nephew of Kapatrala Venkatappa Naidu @ Palegari Venkatappa Naidu. His paternal uncle Kapatrala Venkatappa Naidu was a prominent leader of Telugu Desam Party in Kurnool District. On 17.05.2008 the said Kapatrala Venkatappa Naidu came to be killed along with several others while he was traveling from Kapatrala Village to Kurnool. A case in Crime No.56 of 2008 for the offences under Sections 147, 148, 324, 307, 302 r/w 149 I.P.C and Sections 3 and 5 of the Explosive Substances Act, 1908 came to be registered. After due investigation, the Sub Divisional Police Officer, Kurnool filed charge sheet against 46 accused persons. The case was committed to the Sessions Division and thereupon, the learned Sessions Judge took the case on file as C.C.No.63 of 2009 and made over the case to the Court of II Additional District and Sessions Judge, Kurnool at Adoni. The petitioner was examined as P.W.1 on 25.03.2010. The Sessions Case is coming up for examination of other witnesses. The petitioner, apprehending danger from the opposite party, made representations on 10.06.2010 and 22.06.2010 to provide gunmen. He personally met the authorities concerned and reiterated his representation. Therebeing no action on the said representations, he approached this Court invoking jurisdiction under Article 226 of the Constitution of India. When the writ petition came up for admission, the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Home takes notice on behalf of the respondents. Heard the learned counsel appearing for the parties. The limited grievance of the petitioner is that the respondents are not taking any action of the representations submitted by him seeking police escort. In that view of the matter, I deem in appropriate to dispose of the writ petition directing the third respondent- Superintendent of Police, Kurnool to consider the representations submitted by the petitioner and take appropriate action, within two weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs. ______________________ B.SESHASAYANA REDDY, J Date: 02.07.2010 Note: issue CC in three days B/o. va
