IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD (Special Original Jurisdiction) MONDAY, THE SEVENTH DAY OF DECEMBER TWO THOUSAND AND NINE PRESENT THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA WRIT PETITION NO : 26720 of 2009 Between: Ballanai Somaiah ..... PETITIONER AND The Superintendent of Police, Ongole and others. .....RESPONDENT(S) HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA W.P.No.26720 of 2009 ORDER: The grievance of the petitioner is that the 5th respondent, who is an I.D. party constable, along with his colleagues, is visiting his house and demanding to produce stolen property and also asking him to go and commit thefts, and when the petitioner pleaded ignorance, they are threatening him that they would register false cases if he fails to obey their illegal demand. Hence, he approached this Court and filed the present writ petition. 2. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government pleader for Home. 3. I do not think the grievance of the petitioner can be justified. If the petitioner is not willing to commit thefts, he can either reject the said demand made by the 5th respondent or bring it to the notice of the superior officer concerned. Instead of resorting either of the two, he straight away approached this Court and filed the present writ petition. Therefore, in my considered view, the writ petition is not maintainable. 4. However, as the learned counsel for the petitioner has expressed a view that the petitioner will approach the superior authority and bring the said fact to the notice of the superior officers and on receipt of such notice, the authorities concerned may be directed to enquire the matter and take necessary action. 5. In view of the submission of the learned counsel for the petitioner, the writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the superior authorities concerned to take necessary action against the concerned, if the petitioner approaches them and compliance against the 5th respondent regarding his grievance. There shall be no order as to costs. ______________________ 7th December 2009 KVR
