HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.898 of 2008 Dated: 11-02-2008 Between: Chowdam Venkata Subbamma. … Petitioner And Government of Andhra Pradesh, rep. by its Secretary, Home Department & others. … Respondents HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.898 of 2008 ORDER: In this writ petition, the petitioner has questioned the action of 3rd respondent in calling the petitioner and her family members to the Police Station and detaining them in the Police Station even without there being any complaint and also coercing them to part an amount of Rs.4.5 lakhs as compensation to the 4th respondent. 2. In the affidavit filed in support of the writ petition, it is the grievance of the petitioner that the daughter of the 4th respondent was engaged for marriage to the son of the petitioner herein, but however, due to some differences, the said engagement broke and no further steps were taken for the marriage. It is her grievance that though no complaint is pending for investigation against them, only at the instance of the 4th respondent, the 3rd respondent is interfering in the matter and calling the petitioner and her family members to the Police Station and asking the petitioner either to accept the marriage of her son with the daughter of the 4th respondent or to pay a compensation of Rs.4.5 lakhs to the 4th respondent. 3. At the stage of admission, the 3rd respondent has filed counter affidavit. In his counter affidavit, while generally denying various allegations levelled in the writ petition, it is categorically stated by the 3rd respondent that the allegation of the petitioner that on 12th of December 2007 he has telephoned to the petitioner and directed her to attend the Police Station, is false. The allegations made by the petitioner that the 4th respondent has abused her husband and that they threatened to cancel the passport of the petitioner’s son are also denied by the 3rd respondent. It is further stated in the counter affidavit that no complaint, whatsoever, is received against the petitioner and hence the question of summoning her or her husband to the Police Station, does not arise. It is also stated that the petitioner has levelled all baseless allegations in the writ petition only to wreck vengeance against the 4th respondent, to settle their personal scores, and also to prevent the Police from taking any action in future if any complaint is lodged against her and her husband. 4. Though the petitioner has made several allegations by way of averments in the writ petition, there is no other material to substantiate the said allegations and in the absence of any such material, it is not possible for this Court to accept them. In any event, the 3rd respondent has also categorically denied in his counter the allegations of the petitioner that he has threatened the petitioner and also coerced her to pay an amount of Rs.4.5 lakhs as compensation to the 4th respondent. Placing on record the averments made in the counter affidavit filed by the 3rd respondent, this writ petition is disposed of. However, it is made clear that recurrence of any such complaint against him will be viewed seriously. 5. Subject to above observations, the writ petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. ______________________ R. SUBHASH REDDY, J 11th February 2008 ajr
