THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA WRIT PETITION NO :20956 of 2009 DATED: 25-09-2009 Between: Gutta Srinivasa Rao. ..... PETITIONER And The Station House Officer, G.Konduru police station, Mailavaram Circle, Krishna District. .....RESPONDENT ORDER: The grievance of the petitioner is that without initiating any action under the provisions of the Code of Criminal Procedure, the respondent is directing him to come to the police station and making him to sit there for hours together and thus causing any amount of hindrance to his personal liberty. Hence, he approached this Court and filed the present Writ Petition. 2. Heard learned counsel appearing for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Home appearing for the respondent. 3. Every individual is having a right to peaceful life, however the same is subject to certain restrictions. If the police require the presence of the petitioner at the police station, they can do so, but the same shall be done only in accordance with law. Without registering any crime, directing the petitioner to appear before the police definitely amounts to infringing the right to peaceful life of the petitioner. 4. Accordingly, Writ Petition is disposed of at the stage of admission with a direction to the respondent not to interfere with the personal liberty of the petitioner, without due process under law. There shall be no order as to costs. _______________________ T.GOPALAKRISHNA,J 25th September, 2009. Note: Issue operative portion of the order by wire at party’s costs. B/o Tsy
