THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.22030 of 2009 Dated 01st July, 2010 Between: Mekala Chennaiah. …Petitioner And The Superintendent of Police, Mahaboobnagar, and others. …Respondents Counsel for the petitioner: None appeared Counsel for respondent Nos.1 to 3: Assistant Government Pleader for Home Counsel for respondent Nos.4 and 5: -- The Court made the following: ORDER: This writ petition is filed for a Mandamus to declare the inaction of the Police in investigating Crime No.117 of 2007 of Nagarkurnool Police Station, Mahaboobnagar District, as illegal and arbitrary. The petitioner’s brother - Mr. Mekala Jangaiah along with his wife and other villagers of Yendabadtla Village were taken by respondent No.4 to Bangalore for doing labour work. It is alleged that five months thereafter, they have returned to the village and that thereafter, petitioner’s brother has again gone to Bangalore along with others for receiving the amounts due to them from the employer, but he did not return. The petitioner lodged a report before respondent No.3 on 26.06.2007, which was registered as Crime No.117 of 2007 under ‘man missing’. The grievance of the petitioner is that though more than two years have lapsed, the Police have not completed investigation and filed charge sheet. No counter-affidavit has been filed. The learned Assistant Government Pleader for Home, on instructions, submitted that the Police filed a final report on 30.05.2009 referring the case as undetected. She is, however, unable to state whether a notice was issued to the petitioner before filing the final report. Inasmuch as the investigation is said to have been completed and the final report is filed, the cause in the writ petition does not remain for adjudication. The Writ Petition is accordingly disposed of as infructuous with liberty to the petitioner to file a protest petition, if not already done. If the petitioner approaches respondent No.3 for a copy of the final report, the latter shall forthwith furnish the same to the petitioner, if not already furnished earlier. As a sequel to disposal of the writ petition, W.P.M.P.No.28610 of 2009 filed by the petitioner for interim relief is also disposed of as infructuous. ________________________ C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J 01st July, 2010 GHN
