IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD (Special Original Jurisdiction) PRESENT THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION NO.29140 OF 2010 DATED:24.11.2010 Between: Thammepalli Raja … Petitioner And The Superintendent of Police Ananthapur District and others … Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION NO.29140 OF 2010 ORDER: This writ petition is filed with the prayer, which reads as under: “to issue an appropriate writ, order or direction, more particularly one in the nature of writ of mandamus declaring the action of the respondent police in not properly registering the Crime No.78 of 2010 of D- Hirehal Police Station, basing on the contents of the complaint made by the petitioner attracting the provisions of Section 302 IPC, and consequently direct the respondent police to alter the section of law in Crime No.78 of 2010 of D-Hirehal Police Station by naming the accused mentioned in the complaint dated 28.9.2010.” It is the grievance of the petitioner that though the petitioner has given names of certain persons in the complaint, against whom he is having suspicion to be responsible for death of his father, no case is registered by the Police for the offence under Section 302 of Indian Penal Code. I have perused the copy of the complaint lodged by the petitioner. In the complaint itself, the petitioner has stated that he is not aware how his father died, but, however, he has shown names of certain persons against whom the petitioner is having suspicion for causing death of his father. It is the case of the petitioner that in spite of giving names of certain persons, the case is not registered under Section 302 of IPC, and it is merely registered for the offence under Section 174 of Cr.P.C. Whether the death of the petitioner’s father is due to murder or not and whether there is a role of the suspected persons, is a matter for investigation. On the ground that the case is not properly registered, no directions can be given at this stage. However, as the names of the suspected persons are given in the complaint, I am sure that the respondents will make an investigation into the matter, taking into account the suspicion indicated by the petitioner. There shall be a further direction to the respondents to complete the investigation as expeditiously as possible. Subject to the above observations and directions, the writ petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. _____________________ R. SUBHASH REDDY, J 24.11.2010 bnr
