This Court made the following: ORDER:- This Writ Petition is filed for a Mandamus to declare the action of respondent No.4 in obtaining the petitioner’s signature on complaint dated 25-6-2009 by misrepresentation and registration of Crime No.51 of 2009 on such complaint, as illegal and arbitrary. At the hearing, it is represented by Sri K.V.Sekhar, learned counsel for the petitioner, and the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Home that this Court disposed of Writ Petition No.13093 of 2009 by order dated 2-7-2009, wherein a similar issue was considered. In the said Writ Petition it is, inter alia, held as under: “…the question whether the petitioner gave a complaint voluntarily or under the threat of respondent No.5 cannot be decided in this Writ Petition, while exercising the jurisdiction of this Court under Article 226 of the Constitution of India. Therefore, the petitioner is given liberty to send his representation to respondent No.2. If such a representation is received, respondent No.2 shall cause an enquiry to be held and if it is found in the enquiry that the petitioner has not given the complaint voluntarily, he shall issue necessary instructions to respondent Nos.4 and 5 to permit the petitioner to withdraw his complaint. If respondent No.2 comes to a converse conclusion, the petitioner shall be free to approach the jurisdictional Magistrate with appropriate complaint”. The learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that since the petitioner has apprehension about the impartiality of respondent No.1, any other Police Officer may be directed to consider his representation. In view of the said submission of the learned counsel for the petitioner, the petitioner is permitted to make a representation to the Inspector General of Police, Warangal Range. If such a representation is received, he shall cause an enquiry to be held and if it is found in the enquiry that the petitioner has not given the complaint voluntarily, he shall issue necessary instructions to the respondents to permit the petitioner to withdraw his complaint. If the Inspector General of Police comes to a converse conclusion, the petitioner shall be free to approach the jurisdictional Magistrate with appropriate petition. Subject to the above directions, the Writ Petition is disposed. As a sequel to disposal of the Writ Petition, WPMP No.18797 and 18798 of 2009 are disposed of as infructuous. ------------------------------------ C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY,J Date:17-7-2009 MNR
