This writ petition is taken up on the basis of a letter, dated 25.05.2006, addressed to the Hon’ble the Chief Justice, High Court of Andhra Pradesh by one C.Anjali Reddy, Resident of Kothagudem, Khammam District, stating, inter alia, that her husband and his family members are harassing her physically and mentally to bring dowry and are not allowing her to go to her parents house. 3. In response to the notice issued by this Court, the first respondent-Sub-Inspector of Police, III Town Police Station, Kothagudem, Khammam District, filed counter- affidavit, inter alia, stating that in consequence of the communication from the Government Pleader’s Office about the filing of this writ petition, an enquiry was caused and during the course of enquiry, he visited the residence of the petitioner on 25.05.2006, and upon further enquiry, the petitioner herself gave a statement to him on the same day stating that she never sent any letter, which is allegedly addressed to the Hon’ble the Chief Justice, High Court of Andhra Pradesh. She further stated that she was never harassed by her husband at any point of time and has been leading a peaceful marital life without any disputes whatsoever either with her husband or with her in-laws. A copy of the said statement recorded by the Sub-Inspector of Police had been annexed to the counter- affidavit. 4. However, having regard to the fact that the handwriting in the letter addressed to the Hon’ble the Chief Justice and the handwriting in the statement recorded by the Police was found to be not matching, this Court, on 29.06.2006, directed the petitioner to be present physically before this Court. Accordingly, the petitioner by name C.Anjali Reddy along with her husband and child is present before this Court today. She stated in the open Court that the alleged letter addressed to the Hon’ble the Chief Justice was not addressed by her and she disowned her handwriting in the said letter. However, she accepted that she had given a statement in her handwriting to the Police of Kothagudem III Town Police Station, Khammam District and upon showing the same to her, she identified and acknowledged the contents of the same. 5. Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, we do not find any truth in the said letter and consequently, we do not find any reason to continue this writ petition. 6. The writ petition is liable to be closed and is, accordingly, closed, at the stage of admission. _______________ D.S.R.VARMA, J 06.07.2006 DR ____________________ P.SWAROOP REDDY, J
