HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE G.CHANDRAIAH WRIT PETITION No.21196 OF 2008 ORDER: This Writ Petition is filed seeking to declare the action of the respondents in interfering with day-to-day business of the petitioner, as illegal, arbitrary, unconstitutional and unsustainable and consequently direct the respondents-Police Authorities not to interfere with the business of the petitioner. The case of the petitioner, in brief, is as follows: The petitioner is the proprietor of the firm M/s Sri Vari Home Needs having its office at D.No.8-56, Plot No.8, R.F.Road, Near A.D.Bank, Kothapeta, Chandragiri, Chittoor District, which is registered and is running its business by selling stainless steel, electronic and furniture items for house hold purposes, without any complaint from the customers. While the matter stood thus, when the petitioner firm has been doing the business in the premises in question, the respondents-Police authorities are frequently interfering with day to day business of the petitioner and directing him not to conduct the business of household kitchen ware, steel, electronic and furniture items, harassing him continuously and threatening him to close down the shop. Hence, the Writ Petition. The learned Government Pleader for Home, on the instructions to him by the 1st Respondent-Police Authority submitted that no complaint whatsoever is received from any one with regard to the conducting of business activities of the petitioner and no case is pending or registered on the file of this respondent-police authority till date and apart from that, this respondent-Police authority never interfered with the day-to-day activities of the petitioner’s firm at any point of time and never threatened him to close down his business. It is further submitted that only to prevent the police from taking any action in future if any one lodges complaint against the petitioner, the petitioner has filed the present Writ Petition. Hence, he seeks to dismiss the Writ Petition. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Government Pleader for Home and perused the material available on record. While issuing notice before admission on 26-9-2008, this Court directed the respondents not to interfere with the day-to-day activities of the business of the petitioner-firm without following due process of law. The main grievance of the petitioner is that the respondents-Police authorities are interfering with the day today business activities of the petitioner frequently and threatening him to close down the business and causing harassment to him continuously and therefore, he sought a direction to the respondents-Police Authorities not to interfere with his business activities. The learned Government Pleader for Home has submitted on instructions that apart from denying all the averments made by the petitioner in the affidavit filed in support of the Writ Petition, the 1st respondent-Police authority has submitted that he has never interfered with the daily business activities of the petitioner and has never threatened the petitioner to close down the business. To substantiate the case of the petitioner, no material has been placed before this Court by the petitioner except making bald averments. In view of the same, no orders need to be passed in this Writ Petition. Hence, this Writ Petition is closed. No order as to costs. ________________________ Justice G.CHANDRAIAH Dated 25th September, 2009 Dvs HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE G.CHANDRAIAH WRIT PETITION No.21196 OF 2008 Dated 25-9-2009
