THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE B.SESHASAYANA REDDY CRIMINAL REVISION CASE No.1650 of 2009 ORDER: This revision is directed against the endorsement made on the application filed by the petitioner before XVII Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, Hyderabad. The petitioner filed a complaint before III Metropolitan Magistrate, Hyderabad. It appears, the said complaint came to be forwarded to the Station House Officer, Begum Bazar Police Station, under Section 156(3) Cr.P.C. Thereupon, the police concerned registered a case in Crime No.202 of 2003. The petitioner filed an application before I Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, Hyderabad, to know stage of investigation in the said crime. It appears, the application has been transferred to the file of XVII Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, Hyderabad. The learned Magistrate returned the application on the ground of its maintainability. The return endorsement is assailed in this revision. Heard the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner and perused the material brought on record. Learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is not in a position to know the outcome of his complaint presented before the Court and therefore, he chose to file an application before I Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, Hyderabad and subsequently, the petition has been transferred to XVII Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, Hyderabad. If the petitioner intends to have the information with regard to the status of Crime No.202 of 2003, he can approach the Information Officer by making a proper application as per the Andhra Pradesh High Court Right to Information Rules, 2005 (for short ‘the Rules’). The petition filed by the petitioner before the Court is wholly misconceived. This revision is devoid of merits and is accordingly, dismissed reserving liberty to the petitioner to make an application to the authorities concerned as per the Rules. ____________________________ B.SESHASAYANA REDDY, J 6th OCTOBER, 2009. kvni
