In the counter affidavit filed by the Inspector of Police, Rajendranagar Police Station, it is stated that on the complaint given by respondent No.5, crime No.200 of 2008 under Sections 342, 506 and 323 IPC was registered on 22.02.2008, that the proprietor of the petitioner was arrested on 23.02.2008 and that after completion of the investigation, charge sheet was filed under Section 173 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 on 10.03.2008 in the Court of the learned VIII Metropolitan Magistrate at Rajendranagar, Cyberabad, Hyderabad. The deponent to the counter affidavit denied the allegations that the police are harassing the proprietor of the petitioner and that they are interfering with the civil disputes between the petitioner on the one side and respondent Nos.5 to 7 on the other. In view of the pendency of the criminal case against the proprietor of the petitioner before the jurisdictional Magistrate, I am not inclined to grant any direction to the police with respect thereto. As regards the alleged interference in the civil disputes, the stand of respondent No.4, as reflected in the counter affidavit, is taken on record and he is directed not to interfere in the civil disputes between the petitioner and respondent Nos.5 to 7 in future. Subject to the above observations, the writ petition is dismissed. As a sequel to dismissal of the writ petition, WPMP.No.7096 of 2008 filed by the petitioner for interim relief is also dismissed. ____________________________ C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J Date: 11.04.2008 ES
