HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R.SUBHASH REDDY Writ Petition No.17127 of 2008 Date: 08-9-2011 Between Hafeeza Begum and another … Petitioners and The Assistant Commissioner of Police, South Zone, Charminar, Hyderabad and another … Respondents HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R.SUBHASH REDDY Writ Petition No.17127 of 2008 Order: This writ petition is filed with the prayer, which reads as under: To issue a Writ of mandamus declaring the action of the respondents in harassing the petitioners by sending Constables to the house of the petitioners and calling them to the 2nd respondent though there is no crime registered against them as illegal, arbitrary and violation of Article 21 of the Constitution of India and consequently, direct the respondents not to interfere with the personal life of the petitioners. 2. In the Affidavit filed in support of the writ petition, it is stated that the 2nd petitioner is the daughter of the 1st petitioner and because of involvement of her son, namely, Mohd. Saleem @ Sunil Shetty, in various crimes, the 2nd respondent is sending Constables to the place of the petitioners and interfering with their lives and liberty. It is further stated that the son of the 1st petitioner was married about 5 years back to the date of filing of the writ petition and since then his whereabouts are not known. Inspite of the same and in the absence of any crimes registered against the petitioners, there was interference with the lives and liberty of the petitioners by the 2nd respondent. 3. A detailed Counter-Affidavit is filed by the Inspector of Police, Falaknuma Police Station, Hyderabad. In the counter while denying the various allegations of the petitioners, it is stated that the son of the 1st petitioner has involved in as many as 46 cases registered in various police stations in Hyderabad district. It is further stated that in view of his involvement in number of cases, a CDC (Dossier Criminal) History Sheet was opened as per the instructions of the then Deputy Commissioner of Police, Detective Department, Hyderabad on 07-02-2004 and the same is being continued. It is further stated that the son of the 1st petitioner is involved in cases relating to theft of properties etc., and in connection with Crime No.230 of 2010, which was registered for the offences punishable under Sections 457 and 380 IPC and he was arrested and remanded to judicial custody on 06-8-2010. It is further stated that only to know the whereabouts of the son of the 1st petitioner, the respondents asked the 1st petitioner as a mother to tell the whereabouts of her son. Instead of cooperating with the investigation, the present writ petition is filed. 4. Although it is the case of the petitioners that two Constables are being sent to their house but the same is denied in the counter affidavit. In view of the involvement of the son of the 1st petitioner in number of cases, as stated in the counter i.e., 46 cases, it is always open to the Police to enquire the 1st petitioner about the whereabouts of her son as she is the natural mother of the person who involved in the offences. Such an enquiry on the petitioners cannot be termed as interference of lives and liberty of the petitioners. In view of the denial of allegation of the petitioners that there is an interference with the lives and liberty of the petitioners in sending two Constables to the house of the petitioners, I do not find any merit in the writ petition to grant the direction sought for. 5. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed. In consequence, the interim direction granted in W.P.M.P.No.22235 of 2008 dated 20-11-2008 shall stand vacated. No costs. ________________________ R.SUBHASH REDDY, J. 08th September, 2011. Ak HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R.SUBHASH REDDY Writ Petition No.17127 of 2008 08th September, 2011. (Ak)
