Rama Devi … Petitioner And The Superintendent of Police, Nalgonda, Nalgonda District & others. … Respondents Counsel for the petitioner : Sri Ch. Srinivas Counsel for respondents 1&2: AGP for Home This Court made the following: THE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.5425 of 2009 ORDER:- At the interlocutory stage, the writ petition is taken up for hearing and disposal with the consent of the learned counsel for the parties. This writ petition is filed for a Mandamus to delcare the inaction of respondent Nos.1 and 2 in registering a crime against respondent Nos.3 to 8 on complaint dated 01.01.2009 filed by the petitioner before respondent No.2, as illegal and arbitrary. In the counter affidavit filed by the Sub-Inspector of Police, Choutuppal Police Station, Nalgonda District, it is inter alia stated that preliminary enquiry into the petitioner's complaint disclosed that the dispute was purely civil in nature and that police have nothing to do with it. He also stated that after completing the enquiry, a detailed enquiry report was subitted to the Superintendent of Police informing that no action is needed. At the hearing, Sri Ch. Srinivas, learned counsel for the petitioner, subitted that the contents of complaint dated 01.01.2009 disclosed commission of offences such as criminal tresspass and assult of the petitioner. In my considered view, if the petitioner is not satisfied with the action of the police, he has an effective remedy of approaching the jurisdictional Magistrate with a private complaint under Section 190 read with Section 200 Cr.P.C., as held by the Supreme Court i n Aleque Padamsee and others Vs. Union of India and others[1]. In view of the same, without going into the contentions raised by the petitioner, the writ petition is disposed of with liberty to the petitioner to avail the abovementioned remedy. As a sequel to disposal of the writ petition, WPMP.No.7073 of 2009 filed by the petitioner for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous. _____________________________ C.V.
