THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE N.V. RAMANA WRIT PETITION No.16485 of 2010 DATED: 07.09.2010 Between: B. Venkateswara Reddy .. Petitioner And The Superintendent of Police, Kurnool, and others. .. Respondents ORDER: Petitioner claims to have issued a cheque in favour of respondent No.3 for a sum of Rs.40,000/-, in connection with a loan transaction between his co-brother, the loanee, and respondent No.3 and his sister, the loaners. Petitioner states that his co-brother subsequently repaid the entire amount due, but however, respondent No.3 did not return the cheque issued by him, and, instead, at his instance, respondent No.2- Inspector of Police, II Town Police Station, Kurnool, is harassing him by summoning to the police station and demanding to pay to the 3rd respondent the amount covered under the said cheque. He, therefore, filed the present writ petition seeking appropriate directions to respondent police. Respondent No.3 filed counter-affidavit, denying the allegations made by the petitioner and stating that the petitioner himself obtained a loan of Rs.40,000/- from him and issued a cheque in discharge of that liability. When the cheque, on presentation, was dishonoured for want of sufficient funds, he informed the same to the petitioner and asked him to repay the amount, but the petitioner behaved harshly. Therefore, he lodged a complaint against the petitioner before respondent No.2, but respondent No.2, stating that the dispute is civil in nature, refused to register any crime. Today, the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Home appearing for the respondent police, on instructions, submits that, so far, the respondent police have not registered any case against the petitioner and they are not calling the petitioner to police station or threatening him to pay any amount to respondent No.3. Placing on record the said submission of the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Home, the writ petition is closed. No order as to costs. __________________ JUSTICE N.V.
