THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION NO.7608 OF 2010 Dated 7th April, 2010 Between: Enumulapally Pullaiah and two others …Petitioner And The Sub-Inspector of Police and three others …Respondents Counsel for the petitioners : Sri J.Prabhakar for Sri J.Venkateshwar Reddy Counsel for respondents 1 to 3: AGP for Home The Court made the following ORDER: In this writ petition, the petitioners sought for a Mandamus to declare the action of respondents 1 to 3 in threatening them to settle the land dispute with respondent No.4, which is subject matter of O.S. No.441 of 2005, pending on the file of the Court of Principal Senior Civil Judge, Warangal, as illegal and arbitrary. I have heard Sri J.Venkateshwar Reddy, learned counsel for the petitioners, and learned Assistant Government Pleader for Home representing respondents 1 to 3. As the allegations contained in the affidavit are self-speaking, it is not necessary for this Court to refer to them in detail. It will suffice to note that the petitioners have made serious allegations of undue interference by respondents 1 to 3 in the civil disputes between them and respondent No.4. This Court, time and again, has been expressing its displeasure over the conduct of the police in interfering with the civil disputes. Even in the absence of conclusive evidence against their interference, it is reasonable to presume that unless such interference is caused by the police, ordinarily a citizen would not go the extreme extent of invoking a constitutional remedy under Article 226 of the Constitution of India complaining against such interference. In the absence of evidence, it is not possible for this Court to record conclusive findings in this respect but at the same time, it is the duty of the superior officers to cause discrete enquires into the conduct of their subordinates whenever such complaints against them arise. The District Superintendent of Police, Warangal District, is therefore directed to cause an enquiry to be held into the allegations made by the petitioners in this writ petition against respondents 1 to 3 and if it is found that respondents 1 to 3 have unduly interfered in the civil disputes between the petitioners and respondent No.4 and harassed the petitioners in that connection, appropriate departmental action should be initiated against them apart from ensuring that in future, the police would not interfere in such civil disputes. The District Superintendent of Police, Warangal District shall complete this process within a period of four (4) weeks and communicate the order to the petitioners immediately thereafter. Subject to the above direction, the writ petition is disposed of. As a sequel to disposal of main petition, WPMP No.9772 of 2010 filed by the petitioners for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous.
