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 : 26750 of 2009 Between: Aizaz Ahmed ..... PETITIONER AND The Commissioner of Police, Bashirbagh, Hydeabad and others. .....RESPONDENT(S) HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA W.P.No.26750 of 2009 ORDER: According to the petitioner, based on the false complaint given by his brother-in-law i.e., the husband of his step-sister, the respondents are interfering with his peaceful life and liberty without following the due process of law. Hence, the petitioner 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. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the respondents are interfering with the petitioner’s peaceful life and liberty even without there being any crime registered against the petitioner. He further submits that the marriage of the petitioner is fixed on 14-12-2009 and there is every likelihood of the respondents causing obstruction to the performance of marriage. Hence, a direction may be given to the respondents not to interfere with the petitioner’s peaceful life and liberty. 4. If any complaint is received by the police, then it is for the police to register a case, investigate into the matter and submit a final report as provided for under Section 173 Cr.P.C. Here, according to the petitioner, the respondents have so far not registered any crime against the petitioner, directing him to come to the police station and make him sit at the police station for hours together. Therefore, in my considered view, the police have no business to interfere with the personal life and liberty of any individual without following the due process of law and the action of the respondents is contrary to the principles of Article 21 of the Constitution of India. T 5. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is disposed of at the stage of admission with a direction to the respondents not to interfere with the peaceful life and liberty of the petitioners without following the due process of law. There shall be no order as to costs. ______________________ 7th December 2009 Note Issue C.C. today. B/o. KVR
