HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE A. GOPAL REDDY AND HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE G. BHAVANI PRASAD WRIT PETITION No.26533 OF 2007 DATE: 26.12.2007 Between: K.Brahmananda Reddy ..... PETITIONER AND The Station House Officer, Lingala Police Station, Kadapa District & Another. .....RESPONDENTS HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE A. GOPAL REDDY AND HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE G. BHAVANI PRASAD WRIT PETITION No.26533 OF 2007 ORDER: (Per Hon’ble Sri Justice A.Gopal Reddy) This is a taken up writ petition on the basis of telegram sent by the petitioner to the Hon’ble Chief Justice, dated 10.12.2007 alleging that in the absence of the petitioner, his wife Smt. K.Venkata Lakshumma has been forcibly taken away by the Lingala Police, Kadapa and since then she has been illegally confined. Sub-Inspector of Police, Lingala Police Station-second respondent herein filed a counter affidavit stating that no case has been registered or pending against the alleged detenu and she was never taken into custody. The Station House Officer-first respondent herein visited the house of the petitioner and alleged detenu, who are the neighbours of one Ankireddy Bhaskar Reddy, an accused in Crime No.37 of 2007 and enquired his whereabouts. The said accused is maternal uncle of the petitioner. Since the police are making efforts to apprehend said Ankireddy Bhaskar Reddy, during the course of investigation, they visited the house of the petitioner and alleged detenu to know his whereabouts and only to stall the investigation, the above telegram appears to have been sent. The statement of the alleged detenu recorded by the Tahsildar, Vemula Mandal, Kadapa District, which is filed along with the counter affidavit, discloses that the police came to her house and enquired whereabouts of Ankireddy Bhaskar Reddy, who is the son of her husband’s sister and due to fear, she left the house and since then she has been staying with her parents’ house. She asserted that she was never arrested by the police. The statement of the alleged detenu belies the allegation made in the telegram that she has been illegally detained by the police. Hence, the writ petition is dismissed. No costs. ________________ A. GOPAL REDDY, J. __________________ 26th DECEMBER, 2007 G. BHAVANI PRASAD, J. Tsr.
