THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE R.SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.29202 of 2010 ORDER: This writ petition is filed seeking a mandamus directing the respondents to commence investigation in the crime relating to the murder of the petitioner’s husband, by name, Mohd. Fazaluddin. On 08.11.2010, at about 13.15 hours, when the husband of the petitioner was returning after attending to the criminal Court and was proceeding on the road, group of persons attacked and killed him. Based on the complaint given by one Mohd. Habeebuddin, brother-in- law of the petitioner, a case in Crime No.256 of 2010 under Sections 147, 148, 302 IPC read with Section 149 IPC was registered and investigation was taken up. It is the grievance of the petitioner that the respondents have not commenced the investigation on the murder of her husband. On instructions, it is submitted by the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Home appearing for the respondents that immediately after registration of the crime, teams were formed to trap the accused and some of the accused by names, Chawoosh, Yousuf Patel, Majeed, Osman, Naseer and Riyaz, were already apprehended and the vehicles, used in the crime, bearing registration Nos.AP30 A 9999 and AP29 Q 1003, were seized. It is further submitted that the husband of the petitioner was also a rowdy sheeter of Panjagutta Police Station and in view of rivalry between two groups, the husband of the petitioner was murdered. It is also submitted that to trap the remaining accused, a separate team was constituted, and efforts are on to apprehend the absconding accused. It is to be noted that the case was registered only on 08.11.2010 and this writ petition was filed on 23.11.2010. As much as some of the accused were already apprehended and remanded to judicial custody and the respondents are also taking steps to trap the remaining accused, it cannot be said that the respondents failed to commence the investigation. As the respondents have already started investigation in the crime in question, I deem it appropriate to direct the respondents to complete the investigation as expeditiously as possible. Subject to the above directions, the writ petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. ______________________ R.SUBHASH REDDY, J 7th DECEMBER, 2010. kvni
