THE HON'BLE SMT. JUSTICE T.MEENA KUMARI & THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE G. CHANDRAIAH WRIT PETITION NO.7322 OF 2007 Dated: 10.4.2007 Between: M. Manikyam ..... PETITIONER AND The Commissioner of Police, Cyberabad Commissionerate, Lakdikapul,Hyderabad and others. Respondents. HON'BLE SMT. JUSTICE T.MEENA KUMARI & THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE G. CHANDRAIAH WRIT PETITION No.7322 of 2007 ORDER: (Per Hon’ble Smt. Justice T. Meena Kumari) The petitioner filed the present writ petition seeking a direction to the respondents 1 and 2 herein to produce the alleged detenu, viz, Kum.M.S.C. Santhoshi Kumari @ Shyamala, who is said to have been in the custody of the 3rd respondent herein and to handover her to the petitioner. The alleged detenu is no other than daughter of the petitioner. According to the petitioner, on 12.3.2007, the alleged detenu went to write her first year intermediate examination and thereafter she did not return home. They went in search of her and could not find her. Finally, they lodged a complaint before the 2nd respondent on 13.3.2007 suspecting that the son of the 3rd respondent has kidnapped her, on the basis of which a case in Crime No.109 of 2007 under the head ‘girl missing’ was registered. The main grievance of the petitioner is that the Respondents 1 and 2 are not taking any action on the said complaint. He, therefore, filed the present writ petition seeking appropriate directions to the official respondents. Once a complaint is lodged, it is the statutory duty of the police to conduct investigation. Since the investigation in respect of the crime in question is still pending, it would not be appropriate for us to go into the merits of the matter. However, we direct the respondent-authorities to complete the investigation as expeditiously as possible in respect of the crime in question. The writ petition is accordingly dismissed. ___________________ T. Meena Kumari,J Date: 10.4.2007 _________________ G. Chandraiah,J pnb
