In response to the notice, issued by this Court, the Sub- Inspector of Police, Chimakurthi Police Station, Prakasam District, filed a counter affidavit stating inter alia that on 14.04.2006 one Mr. M. Seetharamaiah has lodged a complaint stating that on 13.04.2006, he went to a temple at Ramatheertham village on his motor cycle bearing No.A.P.-27-H-4962 and parked the same at T.D.P. Prabha and attended the Thirunallu, a Religious celebration, that after attending the same, he returned to the place where he parked his vehicle and found the same missing, and consequently, he lodged a complaint. Basing on the said complaint, a case in Cr.No.59 of 2006 for the offence punishable under Section 379 IPC was registered, and the same is under investigation. It is also stated that during the course of investigation, the complainant and the other witnesses were also examined and it was found that the said three persons by name Kolasani Sudhakar, Thirumalasetti Ravi and Akupati Srinivasa Rao, who are the sons of the alleged detenues, were involved in the said crime and that the alleged detenues are not at all required in any offence. It is only the sons of alleged detenues, who are required in Crime No.59 of 2006. 4. Further, it has been brought to the notice of this Court that the alleged detenues have been freely moving and to that effect the statements of alleged detenues have been recorded by the Mandal Revenue Officer, Santhanuthalapadu and the copies of statements of the alleged detenues were also annexed to the counter affidavit. The said statements contain the photographs of the alleged detenues. 5. In view of the above, we do not find any merit in the writ petition and the same is liable to be dismissed. 6. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is closed, at the stage of admission. There shall be no order as to costs. _________________ (D.S.R. VARMA, J.) _______________________ (P.
