K.V.RAJASREE FOR MR.S.SATYAM REDDY Counsel for the Respondent Nos.1 to 3: AGP FOR HOME The Court made the following : ORDER: This writ petition is filed for a writ of mandamus to declare the action of respondent Nos.2 to 4 in illegally detaining the petitioners in the Police Station, visiting their house and harassing them for transfer of agricultural lands admeasuring Ac.10.08 guntas comprised in Survey Nos.158/A, 160/A, 158/B and 160/B of Kanaparthi Village of Veenavanka Mandal, Karimnagar District in favour of respondent Nos.5 to 8, as illegal and without jurisdiction. Heard Ms. K.V.Rajasree, learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Home and perused the record. The first petitioner’s brother committed suicide and the wife and daughter of the deceased were murdered. In this background of facts, the petitioners allege that respondent Nos.5 to 7, who are the brothers of the deceased sister-in-law of petitioner No.1, filed a criminal complaint on the death of their sister and her daughter and that though the petitioners are not accused to the crime registered on the said complaint, the police have been frequently interfering with their life and personal liberty apart from bringing pressure on them to transfer an extent of Ac.10.08 guntas in favour of respondent Nos.5 to 8. Respondent No.3 filed a counter affidavit, in which, it is averred that one Koyada Kumar, Son of Swamy, Resident of Kanaparthi Village of Veenavanka Mandal lodged a complaint on 16.01.2008, wherein it is mentioned that one Mr.Cholleti Parameshwar, Son of Boomaiah, killed Smt. Konduri Lalitha and K.Santhoshini at the intigation of Konduri Veeraiah, the father of petitioner No.1 and Crime No.6 of 2008 under Section 302 IPC was registered. It is further stated that investigation into the said crime is pending. Respondent No.3 denied the allegations that the petitioners are being harassed by the police and they are interfering in civil disputes. It is stated that no case whatsoever is registered or pending against the petitioners and to prevent the police from taking action in future in the event any complaint is lodged against them, the petitioners filed this writ petition as a preemptive measure. No reply affidavit is filed by the petitioners. In view of the averments contained in the counter affidavit, in which, respondent No.3 categorically pleaded that the police are not interfering with the life and personal liberty of the petitioners or in the property dispute, the cause in the writ petition does not survive for consideration. The writ petition is, therefore, dismissed as infructuous. As a sequel to dismissal of main petition as infructuous, WPMP.No.7305 of 2008 filed by the petitioners for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous. C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J 9th APRIL, 2008 kvni
