Perused the material placed before me. Assailing the inaction of the third respondent in registering the complaint given by him, the petitioner filed this writ petition. The affidavit filed in support of the petition reveals that the petitioner is facing problems from some unknown persons in connection with the land owned by him. Under those circumstances, the petitioner presented a complaint to the third respondent. But the third respondent did not receive his complaint on the premise that it is a civil dispute. Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, it is needless to mention that it is for the respondents to register the complaint, if any, made by the petitioner and to investigate into the matter and extend protection to the petitioner as well as to his property, if necessary. With the above observations, the writ petition is disposed of at the stage of admission. No costs. ---------------------------- kvsn 14-03-2005 To 1 The Secretary, Home Department, State of Andhra Pradesh, Secretariat, Hyderabad. 2 The Commissioner of Police, Visakhapatnam, Visakhapatnam District. 3 The Circle Inspector of Police, Gajuwaka Police Station, Visakhapatnam. 4 Two CCs to GP for Home, High Court buildings, Hyderabad. 5 Two CD copies.
