THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION NO.8363 OF 2010 Dated 15th April, 2010 Between: Ch.Nookeswara Rao …Petitioner And The Commissioner of Police, Visakhapatnam and 2 others. …Respondents Counsel for the petitioner : Sri K.Krishna Kishore Counsel for the respondents: AGP for Home The Court made the following: Order: This Writ Petition is filed for a Mandamus to declare the inaction of respondent Nos.1 and 2, in registering cases against one Penta Kota Subrahmanyam and 7 others, as illegal and arbitrary. I have heard Sri K.Krishna Kishore, learned Counsel for the petitioner, the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Home representing the respondents and perused the record. According to the petitioner, the above-mentioned persons entered into an agreement of sale in respect of Ac.14-95 cents of land on 15-05-2008 and, without honouring the said agreement, they started selling the said property to others. The petitioner, therefore, submitted a report to respondent No.2 and a representation to respondent No.1 and the said report was not registered as a Criminal Case. The grievance of the petitioner is that even respondent No.1 has not taken action under Section 154 (3) of the Code of Criminal Procedure (for short ‘the Cr.P.C.’). In my opinion, this Writ Petition is misconceived because if respondent Nos.1 and 2 have not taken action, the petitioner has an effective remedy by approaching the jurisdictional Magistrate under Section 190 Cr.P.C., as held by the Supreme Court in Aleque Padamsee and others vs. Union of India and others[1] and Sakiri Vasu vs. State of U.P.[2] In this view of the matter, the Writ Petition is dismissed with liberty to the petitioner to avail the above- mentioned remedy. As a sequel to dismissal of the Writ Petition, WPMP No.10775 of 2010 filed by the petitioner for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous.
