THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAMESH RANGANATHAN WRIT PETITION No.20259 of 2011 ORDER: The petitioner is the complainant whose father was allegedly killed by respondent Nos.4 to 6. It is his grievance, in this Writ Petition, that respondent No.7, who was required to prosecute respondent Nos.4 to 6, had acted in a manner which gave rise to a feeling of suspicion in his mind that the trial may not be conducted in a fair manner. A counter affidavit is filed by the second respondent wherein it is stated that respondent No.7 was recently promoted and posted as Public Prosecutor in the Court of the District and Sessions Judge, Medak, vide G.O.Rt.No.1344, dated 22.08.2011; orders were issued relieving him from the post (Additional Public Prosecutor Grade-I, Additional District and Sessions Court and Incharge Additional Public Prosecutor, Family Court, Rajahmundry) on 02.09.2011; as per the present arrangement, Sri Ch.V.N.Mallikarjuna Rao, an Additional Public Prosecutor Grade- II, Assistant Sessions Court, Ramachandrapuram, was conducting prosecution of the Sessions Cases pending on the file of the Family Court, Rajahmundry; and that respondent No.7 is no more Incharge Additional Public Prosecutor of the Family Court, Rajahmundry. In the light of the subsequent events referred to in the counter affidavit, and as referred to hereinabove, it is evident that respondent No.7 is no longer prosecuting the Sessions Case which relates to the murder of the petitioner’s father. I consider it wholly inappropriate, therefore, to put any of the unofficial respondents on notice. It is however made clear that any observations made in this order shall not be construed as reflecting on the conduct of respondent No.7. The Writ Petition stands disposed of. However, in the circumstances, without costs. RAMESH RANGANATHAN,J Date:07.09.2011 usd
