IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD (Special Original Jurisdiction) PRESENT THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE SANJAY KUMAR WRIT PETITION NO.12659 OF 2010 DATED:19.07.2010 Between: Shaik Zakir Hussain … Petitioner And The Government of A.P. Rep. by its Principal Secretary for Home Secretariat, Hyderabad and others … Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE SANJAY KUMAR WRIT PETITION NO.12659 OF 2010 ORDER: The grievance of the petitioner is with regard to the alleged inaction of the police authorities in acting upon his representation dt.18.3.2010 and making further investigation in Crime No.497 of 2007 of Humayun Nagar Police Station, Hyderabad. The learned Assistant Government Pleader for Home stated on instructions that the Police had not only completed the investigation, but also filed the charge sheet and the matter was seized by the I Additional Metropolitan Sessions Judge, Hyderabad, in S.C. No.374 of 2009. In that view of the matter, he contended that it is not open to the petitioner to seek the intervention of this Court by way of a writ petition at the present stage. As pointed out by the Hon’ble Supreme Court in Sakiri Vasu v State of U.P.[1] any complaint with regard to lapses in the investigation is better suited for an application under Section 156(3) of the Code of Criminal Procedure before the Magistrate concerned. In such circumstances, the complainant cannot ordinarily invoke the writ jurisdiction of this Court under Article 226 of the Constitution of India. As the matter is already before the I Additional Metropolitan Sessions Judge, Hyderabad, the petitioner’s grievance with regard to the lapses in the investigation, if any, can be canvassed before the said Court. Viewed from any angle, the present writ petition is not maintainable and is accordingly dismissed leaving it open to the petitioner to invoke such remedies as are available to him in law. No order as to costs. ________________ SANJAY KUMAR, J 19.7.2010 bnr [1] (2008) 2 SCC 409
