THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE RAMESH RANGANATHAN WRIT PETITION No.30178 of 2011 ORDER: The action of the third respondent, in harassing the petitioner and his family members by calling them to the police station, is questioned in this Writ Petition as being illegal, arbitrary and violative of Article 21 of the Constitution of India. A consequential direction is sought to the respondents not to harass the petitioner, and his family members, in any manner. The petitioner, an 18 year old student, would submit that on 01.10.2010 the Sub-Inspector of Police, Dakkili Police Station, SPSR Nellore District (third respondent) had sent constables to his house asking him to come to the police station; when he went to the police station, the third respondent had shown an unknown girl by name Sunitha with a 7 or 8 month baby; and informed him that he was responsible for the birth of the child, and asked him to marry her. It is his grievance that these acts of threat were patently illegal, and neither did he know Ms Sunita nor was he responsible for the birth of the child. In his counter aﬃdavit, the third respondent would deny the allegations made by the petitioner of being called to the police station on 01.10.2010 or to have asked him to marry Ms Sunitha on the ground that he was responsible for the birth of the child. According to the third respondent, the Writ Petition was ﬁled more as a precautionary measure in case a complaint would be lodged against him later. Since the third respondent denies having called the petitioner to the police station or to have threatened to marry Ms Sunitha, it would suﬃce, for the purpose of disposal of this Writ Petition, if the averments in the counter aﬃdavit are made part of the record; and, in as much as the respondents have not called the petitioner to the police station or to have asked him to marry Ms Sunitha, the cause in the Writ Petition does not survive necessitating its being adjudicated by this Court. The Writ Petition fails and, is accordingly, dismissed. However, in the circumstances, without costs. RAMESH RANGANATHAN,J Date:28.11.2011 usd
