THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V. RAMULU Wednesday, the 4th day of July,2007 W.P.No.9468 of 2002 Between:- Mohd. Iqbal & others … Petitioners and Station House Officer, Dabeerpura P.S., Hyderabad and others … Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V. RAMULU W.P.No.9468 of 2002 ORAL ORDER: This Writ Petition is filed seeking a Mandamus to declare the action of the 1st respondent in registering F.I.R.No.69 of 2002 as arbitrary, illegal and amounts to abuse of process of law. The very nature of the complaint, which is registered as F.I.R. No.63 of 2002 on the file of Dabeerpura Police Station, Hyderabad, shows that the petitioner broke open the locks of the mulgi without the knowledge of the 2nd respondent and destroyed the material, which was worth of Rs.3.5 lakhs and some material like Televisions etc., were not found in the shop; therefore, requested to take action against him. It is the case of the petitioners that the 2nd respondent has nothing to do with their mulgi and it was let out to a different person. Even otherwise, the dispute is only civil in nature. Therefore, registering the First Information Report does not arise. In the facts and circumstances of the case, I am of the opinion that the complaint is not made as to the dispute of tenancy etc. The complaint is made that the locks of the shop were broke open by the petitioners herein without the consent of the 2nd respondent. Therefore, it cannot be said that the dispute is only civil in nature and as such, the FIR could not have been registered. The Writ Petition is devoid of any merit and is liable to be dismissed. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is dismissed. No order as to costs. 04-7-2007 prk
