lTHE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA l lWRIT PETITION No.28855 of 2009 DATE:31.12.2009 Between: Velidandla Eashwaraiah ... Petitioner and The Superintendent of Police, Kadapa District and others ... Respondents l l lTHE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA l lWRIT PETITION No.28855 of 2009 · ORDER: · This writ petition is filed by the petitioner seeking a Writ of Mandamus to declare the action of respondents 1 to 3 in not taking action against the 4th respondent, who is accused No.3 in Crime No.123 of 2009, as illegal and arbitrary. · 22. According to the petitioner, he lodged a complaint with the 3rd respondent against the 4th respondent and two others on 10.11.2009. On the basis of the complaint, the 3rd respondent registered a case in Crime No.123 of 2009 against the accused therein for the offences under Sections 307, 324 and 506 IPC. Though the 3rd respondent registered the crime on 10.11.2009, he has not taken any action against the 4th respondent so far. Being aggrieved by the same, he approached this Court and filed the present writ petition. · 3. Heard both the learned counsel. · 44. When once a crime is registered, the police are duty bound to investigate into it and submit a final report before a competent criminal court. As seen from the FIR, it is clear that it is more than a month since the date of registration of the crime i.e. 10.11.2009. It is true that it would take some more time for the 3rd respondent to complete the entire investigation, but at the same time he shall see that the investigation is completed, at the earliest. In the light of the same and as it is the grievance of the petitioner that the 3rd respondent has not yet taken action to arrest the 4th respondent, this court is of the view that this writ petition can be disposed of with a direction to respondents 1 to 3 to complete the investigation. · 55. Accordingly, this writ petition is disposed of directing respondents 1 to 3 to complete the investigation and file a final report, as provided for under Section 173 Cr.P.C. before a competent criminal court, preferably, within a period of two (2) months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. There shall be no order as to costs. _____________________________ lGOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA, J 31st December, 2009 l lNote: Furnish C.C. by one week. l (B/o) l CBS THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · ·WRIT PETITION No.28855 of 2009 ·(Disposed of) 31st December, 2009 l lNote: Furnish C.C. by one week. l (B/o) l CBS l
