THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE R.SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.30977 of 2010 ORDER: In this writ petition, grievance of the petitioner is that though the complaint lodged by him before the first respondent – Station House Officer, III Town Police Station, Kurnool, against respondents 2 and 3 was registered as a case in Crime No.139 of 2008, no further investigation was conducted from 16.08.2008, as such, he seeks a mandamus by way of directions to the first respondent to proceed with the investigation and file final report. Based on the written instructions sent by the first respondent, it is submitted by the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Home appearing for the first respondent that based on the complaint lodged by the petitioner on 16.08.2008 alleging that on 19.07.2008, respondents 2 and 3 have confined him in the house of one Peddaiah at Maddur Nagar, Kurnool and obtained his signatures on an empty promissory note, a case has been registered in Crime No.139 of 2008 under Sections 342, 384 IPC read with 34 IPC and investigation was taken up. It is further submitted that when the Sub-Inspector of Police, III Town Police Station, Kurnool, during investigation, tried to secure the petitioner/complainant by visiting his house, he learnt that the petitioner was not in the town since long time. It is further stated that the police constable also visited the house of the complainant and submitted a report to the same effect. It is further stated that on 27.08.2008, when notice under Section 160 Cr.P.C. was served on the petitioner to attend the police station, the wife of the petitioner received it. It is further stated that during investigation, the first respondent visited the house of Konda Peddaiah at Maddur Nagar, where the offence of wrongful confinement was taken place, and recorded his statement. It is also stated that evidence of other witnesses was also recorded and it revealed that respondents 2 and 3 herein did not commit any offence as alleged by the petitioner/complainant, as such, by obtaining permission from the Sub-Divisional Police Officer, Kurnool, on 31.01.2009, the case has been referred as insufficient evidence and final report was filed to that effect before the learned Judicial First Class Magistrate, Kurnool. Although it is the case of the petitioner that the investigation was not conducted into the alleged crime, from the above said submissions made by the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Home appearing for the first respondent, it is clear that final report was already submitted in Crime No.139 of 2008. For the aforesaid reasons, keeping open to the petitioner to file objections/protest petition against the final report filed under Section 173 Cr.P.C. before the Magistrate concerned, the writ petition is dismissed. No order as to costs. ______________________ R.SUBHASH REDDY, J 16th DECEMBER, 2010. kvni
