HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.33727 of 2010 Date : 07.03.2011 Between : Nellore Munilakshmi. …..Petitioner And The State of Andhra Pradesh, rep. by its Principal Secretary, Home Department & others. …..Respondents HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.33727 of 2010 ORDER : In this writ petition, the grievance of the petitioner is that respondent-Police are not investigating in to Crime No.152 of 2010 registered on the file of Srikalahasti Urban Police Station. Petitioner has filed a private complaint before the learned Additional Junior Civil Judge, Srikalahasti. On reference, a case is registered in Crime No.152 of 2010 for the offences under Sections 323, 307, 341, 366, 354, 376, 506 read with 120-B of IPC, on 21.10.2010 against 12 accused. In the present writ petition, it is the grievance of the petitioner that though the crime was registered as early as on 21.10.2010, respondents are not taking steps to investigate into the said crime and to apprehend the accused. Based on the written instructions, dated 10th January 2011, sent by the Inspector of Police, Srikalahasti Urban Police Station, it is stated by the learned Government Pleader that accused No.2 to 12 have filed Criminal Petition No.13302 of 2010 before this Court under Section 482 Cr.P.C., seeking to quash the proceedings issued in Crime No.152 of 2010, and this Court, at the stage of admission, granted interim orders granting stay of all further proceedings including appearance of petitioners therein. When there is interim stay granted by this Court, it cannot be said that respondents are not proceeding with investigation. As submitted by the learned Government Pleader based on written instructions, accused Nos.1, 3, 7 and 8 were already arrested on 27.11.2010 and accused No.12 was arrested on 01.01.2011 and were remanded to judicial custody. It appears the further investigation is not being done in view of the interim stay granted by this Court in Criminal Petition No.13302 of 2010. In that view of the matter, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition, with a direction to the respondents to complete the investigation subject to orders of this Court in Criminal Petition No.13302 of 2010, as expeditiously as possible. Subject to above direction, the writ petition is disposed of. No costs. ______________________ R. SUBHASH REDDY, J 7th March 2011 ajr
