This writ petition has been instituted seeking for a Writ of habeas corpus for producing Smt. Alluri Manga Tayaru, wife of the 5th respondent herein. The writ petitioner is none other than the brother of the missing person. 2. It is alleged that Smt. Manga Tayaru was given in marriage to the 5th respondent in the year 1993 and that the 5th respondent is living at Kovvuru village in Kakinada Rural Mandal, East Godavari district and that the missing person and the 5th respondent have two children, aged about 9 years and 8 years, respectively and that the 5th respondent was not taking good care of the missing person and that on 21-7-2005 the son of the missing person, by name Manikanth, called up the writ petitioner to inform that the missing person wants to speak to him and that at about 8.30 p.m., on the same day when he contacted his sister, she broke down and complained bitterly of the conduct of 5th respondent and also narrated an unhappy event that took place on the previous evening and that the writ petitioner has promised to go over to his sister’s place the next day but he could not go over because of some pending work at Hyderabad and that on 23-7-2005 when he called up a neighbour of the 5th respondent, he was informed that Smt. Manga Tayaru, his sister, was missing from the previous day and hence he has complained to the Rural Police at Kakinada for tracing out the missing person and so far, the missing person has not been traced. 3. The Sub Inspector of Police, Indrapalem Police Station, Kakinada, East Godavari district has filed a detailed counter-affidavit. He has narrated various steps and measures taken by him for tracing out the missing person, from the time he received intimation in that regard. In paragraph 6 of the affidavit it is stated that a radio message was flashed to all the Inspectors of Police in Eluru Range on 25-7- 2005 itself and that various search parties have been formed and sent out to various places looking out for the missing person. He has also examined one Gokavarapu Satyanarayana, son of Lakshmaiah, owner of a coffee hotel located behind the house of the 5th respondent. He has gathered information that the missing person had a quarrel with her husband on 22-7-2005 and that the owner of the coffee hotel has seen the missing person at about 5 a.m., on 23-7-2005 and that on the next day, he came to know that she was on missing. It was also recorded in paragraph 12 of the counter-affidavit that one, Smt. Pilli Satyavathi, wife of Veerabhadra Rao of Kovur village, who came to Hyderabad, has stated that she saw the missing person at Hyderabad while she was going in an auto and hence the Police have also dispatched the search party to Hyderabad, but they could not trace out the missing person. 4. In view of the facts and circumstances narrated by the Sub Inspector of Police, Indrapalem Police Station in his counter- affidavit, the appropriate course of action to be taken by the Police in a matter of this nature is to prepare a final report and submit it to the court concerned so that the action in accordance with law can follow thereafter. It is needless to observe that the Police will not spare any efforts to trace out the missing person. 5. With this, the writ petition stands disposed of, granting liberty to the writ petitioner to pursue such remedies as are available under law upon filing a final report by the Police before the Magistrate concerned. ______________________________ JUSTICE D.S.R.VARMA ______________________________ JUSTICE NOOTY RAMAMOHANA RAO 19th March, 2010.
