HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.741 of 2011 Date : 28.01.2011 Between : D. Dayanand. …..Petitioner And The Commissioner of Police, Cyberabad & others. …..Respondents HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.741 of 2011 ORDER : This writ petition is filed, seeking directions by way of Mandamus, declaring the inaction on the part of respondents on the complaint of the petitioner, dated 28th December 2010, as illegal and arbitrary. The complaint, dated 28th December 2010, is placed on record, by which, the petitioner has complained to the Assistant Commissioner of Police, Balanagar, Cyberabad, Ranga Reddy District, stating that he was the owner of a residential site and when he was taking steps for construction, three persons M/s.Venkatesh, Mahender and Surender, all residents of Balanagar village, have made an attempt for extortion of money from him, with the assistance of local resident-Police Constable, by name K.Srinivas. Though the petitioner has complained against 4 individuals, the said persons are not made party- respondents to this writ petition. On instructions, it is submitted by the learned Government Pleader that when the complaint is received by the Assistant Commissioner of Police, Balanagar, the same was forwarded to the Station House Officer at Balanagar, in whose jurisdiction, the alleged crime has taken place, only on 24th of January 2011. In the absence of making the persons who have allegedly made attempts for extortion of money from the petitioner as party-respondents to this writ petition, and as the complaint filed by the petitioner before the Assistant Commissioner of Police, Balanagar, was referred to the Station House Officer, Balanagar, only on 24th of January 2011, it cannot be said that there is undue delay on the part of the Police in investigating the crime. As much as it is stated that the Assistant Commissioner of Police has already forwarded the complaint of the petitioner to the Station House Officer, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition, directing the 3rd respondent to take steps on the complaint of the petitioner in accordance with law, as expeditiously as possible. Subject to the above directions, the writ petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. ______________________ R. SUBHASH REDDY, J 28th January 2011 ajr
