IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD (Special Original Jurisdiction) WEDNESDAY, THE TWENTY THIRD DAY OF MARCH TWO THOUSAND AND EIGHT PRESENT THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION NO : 22801 of 2007 Between: A. Mangamma W./o. Mallaiah R/o. Darpalli , Nawabpet Mandal, Mahaboobnagar District. ..... PETITIONER AND 1 The Superintendent of Police, Mahaboobnagar District, Mahaboobnagar . 2 The Station House Officer, Nawabpet P.S. Nawabpet Mandal, Mahaboobnagar District. .....RESPONDENTS Counsel for the Petitioner: SRI.V.M.KRISHNA REDDY Counsel for the Respondents: GP FOR HOME The Court made the following : Order: This Writ Petition is filed for a writ of mandamus to declare the action of respondent No.2 in not registering complaint dated 29-03-2007 as illegal. The petitioner sought for a consequential direction to the respondents to forthwith register the complaint. At the hearing, the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Home, on instructions, stated that respondent No.2 registered Crime No.52 of 2007 on 29-03-2007 itself and the investigation is in progress. The stand of respondent No.2 appears to be incredible inasmuch as one month after the registration of the alleged crime, respondent No.1 made an endorsement on 29-04-2007 to respondent No.2 to enquire and see that the missing person is traced at once. Had a crime been registered, as claimed by respondent No.2, on 29-03-2007 itself, he would have filed a counter-affidavit to that effect. The fact remains that no counter-affidavit has been filed so far. Be that as it may, since a crime is said to have been registered more than one year back, respondent No.2 is directed to complete the investigation and file the appropriate report/charge sheet before the jurisdictional magistrate within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. The Writ Petition is, accordingly, disposed of. No costs. As a sequel to disposal of the Writ Petition, WPMP.No.29674 of 2007 filed by the petitioner for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous. _____________________ (C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J) 23-04-2008 LUR
