It is not necessary to go into various averments made in the affidavit filed in support of the writ petition. In response to the notice issued by this Court, the second respondent filed a counter-affidavit stating that based on the compliant lodged by the petitioner on 13.07.2010, a case in Crime No.237 of 2010 was registered under the head “Man Missing” on the same date; that during the course of investigation, it came into light that the petitioner and her sons were suspecting the brother of the alleged detenu for the missing of the alleged detenu; that in the year 1980 the alleged detenu worked as sales executive in his brother-in-law’s company at Hyderabad and thereafter in the year 1990 he started doing cable contract work in Telecom Department for a period of six years; that in the year 1996, he entered into the real estate business and the said business went on well till 2002 and thereafter he suffered heavy financial loss, due to which, he had a paralytic stroke; that the alleged detenu also started a private company in the name and style “M/s.Mayuri Cable Engineer Private Limited” at Begumpet, Hyderabad; that the petitioner and the alleged detenu are the Directors and the seventh respondent is the Chartered Accountant of the said company and that they have obtained a loan of Rs.40.00 lakhs from Syndicate Bank by mortgaging the properties of others and cheated the bank and therefore, the Manager of Syndicate Bank lodged a complaint with Langer House Police Station, Hyderabad. Based on the said complaint, a case in Crime No.321 of 2003 was registered against them for the offences under Sections 120-B, 420, 468, 471 and 419 I.P.C. In connection with the said crime, the petitioner, her husband and the seventh respondent were arrested and sent to judicial custody and subsequently they were enlarged on bail. Later the matter was transferred to CBI for further investigation on 27.04.2006. As the alleged detenu is absconding, N.B.Ws are issued against him by the Magistrate concerned on 08.10.2010 and the same are pending execution. It is further stated that a case in Crime No.180 of 2010 under Section 498-A I.P.C is also registered against the alleged detenu and his family members at IV Town Police Station, Nizamabad on the complaint made by eighth respondent. In connection with the said crime, all the family members of the alleged detenu were arrested, but the alleged detenu is absconding wantonly and the same is also known to his family members. In view of the above counter-affidavit averments and since the police have already started investigation in Crime No.237 of 2010, they are under obligation to complete the same as early as possible. The writ petition is accordingly dismissed. However, the respondent police are directed to complete the investigation within a reasonable period and file a report before the Magistrate concerned, after giving due intimation to the petitioner. _____________________ A.GOPAL REDDY, J Date: 25.07.2011 _____________________ RAJA ELANGO, J va
