IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD (Special Original Jurisdiction) WENESDAY, THE TENTH DAY OF MARCH TWO THOUSAND AND TEN PRESENT HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.24430 OF 2009 Between: Mirza Asghar Hussain … Petitioner And The Commissioner of Police, Hyderabad and two others. … Respondents This Court made the following: HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.24430 of 2009 ORDER:- The petitioner approached the Station House Officer, P.S.Dabeerpura - 2nd respondent herein, with a complaint stating that he misplaced his passport bearing No.B-2676518 issued on 15.09.2000 and requesting that efforts be made to trace it. The grievance of the petitioner is that the 2nd respondent is not receiving the complaint at all. The petitioner contends that the registration of F.I.R. became necessary since the passport had to be renewed beyond 14.09.2010. It is also stated that earlier a criminal case was filed in C.C.No.754 of 2005 on the ground that he secured four passports and that case ended in acquittal through judgment dated 24.07.2009 rendered by the Court of VIII Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, Hyderabad. Hence, the petitioner seeks directions to the respondents herein to receive the complaint enabling him to get his passport renewed. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner, the learned Government Pleader for Home and the learned Standing Counsel for the 3rd respondent. The case of the petitioner has several peculiarities. It is no doubt true that he was tried in C.C.No.754 of 2005 alleging that he secured four passports and acquitted therein. The fact however remains that the records of the passport office discloses that as many as four passports were obtained in respect of one and the same person and all of them contain particulars of the petitioner, be it the name of the parents, educational qualifications, address and photographs. Assuming that the acquittal of the petitioner in C.C.No.764 of 2005 would wipe away the allegation against him, it is clear that the complaint of the petitioner cannot be received by the 2nd respondent at all. The reason is that the allegation in the complaint is that the passport of the petitioner was lost in his own house. The police cannot be expected to cause search in the house, much less registering a F.I.R. When that was the matter, no relief can be granted to the petitioner in this writ petition. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. _______________________ L.NARASIMHA REDDY, J 10th March 2010 lmv
