THE HON'BLE MRS JUSTICE T.MEENA KUMARI & THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE D. APPA RAO WRIT PETITION NO.13822 OF 2005 Dated: 17.01.2007 Between: M. Lakshmidevi ..Petitioner And The Superintendent of Police, Chittoor District and others. .. Respondents. THE HON'BLE MRS JUSTICE T.MEENA KUMARI & THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE D. APPA RAO WRIT PETITION NO.13822 OF 2005 ORDER: (Per Hon’ble Smt. Justice T. Meena Kumari) This is a writ petition filed by the petitioner seeking a direction to the respondents to trace out her husband viz., Mandi Venkatramana, alleging that he was found missing. When the matter was taken up for hearing, it is submitted by the learned Advocate General that with regard to the missing of the man in question, a case in crime No.58 of 2006 of Somala P.S. has already been registered and efforts are being made to trace out the missing man. Apart from that, detailed counter-affidavits have also been filed inter alia stating that they have constituted teams and sent them to neighbouring states so as to trace out the missing man from the basis of the cases registered under section 174 Cr.P.C. A perusal of the contents of the counter-affidavits makes it clear that efforts have been made so as to trace out the missing man. However, the same is not an ending process inasmuch as a case in Crime No.58 of 2006 is pending investigation. In view of the pendency of crime in question and in the facts and circumstances of the case, we feel that the pendency of this writ petition would serve no purpose and as such, no further orders need be passed in this writ petition. Accordingly, this writ petition is closed. However, this order will not preclude the investigating agency from proceeding with the crime in question. _________________________ Justice T.
