On receipt of a telegram dated 12.7.2004, sent by one K.Sudhir Babu, petitioner herein, the same was registered as Writ Petition No.12204 of 2004. 2. It is stated in the telegram that the son of the petitioner, who is aged about 15 years, was being subjected to third degree methods in spite of not registering any case against him and therefore requested for appropriate action. Thereafter a reply was called for from the police and accordingly the Inspector of Police, Bolarum P.S. Secunderabad, has filed a counter stating that there were some differences between petitioner-K.Sudhir Babu and another person by name Nathi Kumar of Bolarum and on account of the same, the son of the petitioner Mr.T.Ravi Teja came on his scooter to the house of Nathi Kumar and threatened his children N.Kranti and N.Karuna, who are aged 9 and 7 years respectively, with a knife and to that effect an entry was also made in the General Diary. Ravi Teja, son of the petitioner, and the complainant-Nathi Kumar along with his two children were called to the Police Station on 10.7.2004 and Mr.Ravi Teja was warned for the said act. He denied the allegation that any third degree method was practiced on the son of the petitioner. It is also stated that the petitioner has not produced any medical certificate to sustain his complaint that the police beat his son. It is further stated that since the petitioner is residing at Pathankot, Punjab State, his inmates might have misinformed the actual facts. 3. In view of the above circumstances, we do not find any ground to proceed further in the matter. 4. Accordingly the Writ Petition is closed. ------------------------------------- (G.BIKSHAPATHY, J.) 29th July, 2004. ------------------------------------- (CH.S.R.K.PRASAD, J.)
