JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.6936 of 2008 Between: Y. Lakshmi Kavya & another … Petitioners AND The Director General of Police, Andhra Pradesh, Hyderabad & others. … Respondents Counsel for the petitioners : Sri Chetluru Srinivas Counsel for respondents 1 to 4: AGP for Home This Court made the following: THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.6936 of 2008 ORDER:- This writ petition is filed for a writ of mandamus to direct respondent Nos.1 and 4 to provide security to the petitioners from respondent No.5 or any other third party and not to register a case against them. The petitioners claim that they married having fallen into love with each other according to Aryasamaj Rituals on 21.03.2008. Petitioner No.1 claimed that her father, who is working as Deputy Superintendent of Police, Gray Hounds, Ghandipet, Hyderabad, is against their marriage and likely to give a complaint and bring pressure on the police to register a case and separate them. I have heard Sri Chetluru Srinivas, learned counsel for the petitioners and perused the record. Except apprehending that respondent No.5 may give a police complaint against the petitioners, they have not filed any material in support thereof. Even according to the petitioners, no complaint has been filed by respondent No.5 so far. Therefore, this Court would not give any direction on the basis of the apprehension expressed by the petitioners in the absence of any material in support thereof. If respondent No.5 gives a complaint, the police are entitled to act in accordance with the provisions of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 (for short, ‘Cr.P.C.’) and the petitioners cannot pre-empt them from exercising their powers under Cr.P.C. The writ petition is therefore dismissed. As a sequel to dismissal of the writ petition, WPMP.No.9078 of 2008 filed by the petitioners for interim relief is also dismissed. ____________________________ C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J Date: 01.04.2008 ES
