THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE K.C. BHANU Writ Petition No.17360 of 2005 Between: Kotipalli Ramachandra Rao ..... PETITIONER AND 1.The Superintendent of Police, Collector’s Office, Guntur, Guntur District and others. .....RESPONDENTS THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE K.C. BHANU Writ Petition No.17360 of 2005 ORDER: The writ petition is filed seeking a declaration that the action of the respondents 2 to 4 in interfering with the day-to-day activities of the petitioner is illegal and arbitrary. The petitioner claims to be the resident of Nagarampalem, Guntur. He is doing Timber business in the name and style of Sri Gopala Krishna Timber Depot. He used to borrow amounts from the third and fourth respondents to meet his day-to-day business requirements and used to repay the same. He had not approached the third and fourth respondents since 2002 as they were charging high rate of interest. However, the third and fourth respondents approached the petitioner stating that his relatives borrowed certain amounts from them and demanded him to repay the same, but the petitioner denied his responsibility. Thereafter, the third and fourth respondents are threatening the petitioner with dire consequences and approached the second respondent to settle the matter. Thereafter, the second respondent called the petitioner to the Police Station and made him to sit in the Police Station; and asked him to settle the dispute. Aggrieved by the action of the second respondent, the petitioner has come up with the present writ petition. The second respondent filed a counter affidavit stating that neither the petitioner nor the unofficial respondents herein have approached respondents 1 and 2 seeking redressal of their grievance. Hence, the question of calling the petitioner to the Police Station, interfering with the civil dispute and harassing the petitioner as alleged does not arise. Heard both sides and considered the material on record. Admittedly, the dispute between the petitioner on one hand and the third and fourth respondents on the other hand is purely in civil nature. In the circumstances, recording the averments made in the counter affidavit, the writ petition is closed. No costs. ________________ 29.08.2005 VGB
