THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE N.V. RAMANA W.P. No. 16481 of 2010 Oral order: The petitioners state that the official respondents, particularly respondent No.5 at the instance of unofficial respondent Nos. 6 to 11 is interfering with their personal liberty by calling them to the police station repeatedly by sending constables to their house. Pursuant to the notice ordered by this Court, respondent No.5 filed counter stating that three criminal cases are registered against the petitioners on the file of Razole Police Station, East Godavari, in which charge sheets are also filed. Today, respondent No.5 appeared in person. He denied having harassed the petitioners and contended that he has taken charge only on 08.06.2010. Though respondent No.5 denied that he has harassed the petitioners by interfering with their personal liberty by calling them to the police station, but it is the specific case of the petitioners that at the instance of the respondents, particularly respondent Nos. 6 and 7, who are Chairman of Zilla Parishad and Sarpanch of Thatipaka Gram Panchayat, respondent No.5 has harassed them. The writ petition was filed on 06.07.2010. If really the official respondents, particularly respondent No.5 has not harassed, then there is no need for the petitioners to come along from East Godavari and file the present writ petition seeking protection. In the circumstances, this Court is of the opinion that it is a fit case, where the allegations of harassment made by the petitioner against respondent No.5, have to be enquired into by the Superintendent of Police, East Godavari. Hence, the writ petition is disposed of directing the petitioners to lodge appropriate complaint before Superintendent of Police, East Godavari, about the harassment meted out to him by respondent No.5. If the petitioner lodges any such complaint, then the Superintendent of Police, East Godavari, shall conduct an enquiry into the allegations made in the complaint and take necessary action against those who are found to have harassed the petitioners. No costs. ________________ N.V. RAMANA, J. Dated: 04th October, 2010 KSR
