THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY Writ Petition No.18140 of 2009 ORDER: The petitioners are husband and wife. It is stated that the 2nd petitioner entered into an agreement of sale in respect of an immovable property with certain third parties. Thereafter, one of the members of the family of the petitioners filed O.S.No.152 of 2006 in the Court of Principal Junior Civil Judge, Jaggayyapet in respect of that property. The purchasers from the 2nd petitioner filed a complaint under Section 200 Cr.P.C. before the Court of Judicial First Class Magistrate, Jaggayyapet against the petitioners alleging offence under Section 420 I.P.C. It was taken up as C.F.No.2511 of 2009 and the matter is said to be pending investigation. The petitioners filed Criminal Petition No.6243 of 2009 before this Court under Section 482 of Cr.P.C. and obtained an order of stay of arrest. Their grievance is that the respondents are interfering with their business of running a hotel, in the context of a case registered against them. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned Government Pleader for Home. The respondents are no doubt entitled to proceed with the investigation and prosecution against the petitioners vis-à-vis C.F.No.2511 of 2009, that too under the supervision of the concerned Court. However, on that pretext, they cannot interfere with the business and other activities of the petitioners, unless any specific allegations are made in relation thereto. Therefore, the writ petition is disposed of, directing that the respondents shall not interfere with the civilian life or other activities of the petitioners, in particular running of hotel, unless any specific cases are registered in relation thereto. There shall be no order as to costs. __________ 26.02.2010 JSU THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY Writ Petition No.18140 of 2009 Date: 26.02.2010 JSU
