Earlier to filing of the present writ petition alleging illegal detention, the employer of the alleged detenu A.Narasaiah, brother of the present petitioner, filed W.P.No.11877 of 2010 and the same was withdrawn on 09.06.2010. It was brought to the notice of the learned counsel that the brother of the alleged detenu also invoked the jurisdiction of the criminal court by way of private complaint, which was referred to the police and filed the present writ petition for the very same relief. Having regard to the fact that the police have already registered a case in Crime No.634 of 2010 for the alleged offence, police are expected to investigate the same as early as possible and file the report before the competent court. If the alleged detenu has been in illegal detention at the hands of the kidnapper, they are supposed to produce the detenu before the Magistrate for passing appropriate orders along with the report. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of directing the police to complete the investigation expeditiously and file a report with intimation to the petitioner. __________________ A.GOPAL REDDY, J ________________ RAJA ELANGO, J 10th June 2010 lmv
