The petitioner’s father went missing from 9.11.2009. On 13.11.2009, the petitioner lodged a report before the respondent suspecting two persons, by name Padma and Seshaiah, and Crime No. 214 of 2009 was registered basing on the said report. The grievance of the petitioner is that no effective action is being taken by the respondent on the said report. In the counter affidavit filed by the respondent, it is inter alia stated that pursuant to the registration of the Criminal case, investigation was held, during which, nine witnesses, including the petitioner were examined and their statements recorded. That the respondent has examined Smt. Padma and Seshaiah, whom the petitioner has suspected and that their examination did not reveal anything material to find the traces of the petitioner’s father. It is also stated that the respondent has deputed the Police Constables to the surrounding villages in Guntur, Vijayawada, Visakhapatnam and Nellore Districts. But, the whereabouts of the missing person could not be traced. The respondent further averred that he got pamphlets distributed and pasted in conspicuous places of Nellore District and that the investigation conducted so far discloses that that the missing man married another woman by name, Susheelamma about 2½ years ago and that the said person was habituated to leave his home now and then. That the suspected persons have approached the V Additional District Sessions Judge, Nellore and obtained directions not to interfere with their life and liberty. The respondent has assured that he will make all the efforts to trace the missing person and produce him before this Court. From the above noted contents of the counter affidavit, this Court is satisfied tat the respondent has made all out efforts to trace the missing person and therefore, no relief can be granted to the petitioner. The writ petition is accordingly dismissed. As a sequel to disposal of main petition, W.P.M.P. No.12393 of 2010 is disposed of as infructuous. __________________________ C.V.
