HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE G.CHANDRAIAH Dated 25-9-2009 WRIT PETITION No.20378 OF 2008 Between: Sunkara Lakshmi Mani Kumari. …Petitioner. And: 1. The Superintendent of Police, East Godavari District, Kakinada and others. ……Respondents. HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE G.CHANDRAIAH WRIT PETITION No.20378 OF 2008 ORDER: This Writ Petition is filed seeking to declare the action of the respondents 2 and 3-Police Officials in interfering with the civil disputes and also petitioner’s life and liberty at the instance of the respondents 4 and 5 without any manner of right as illegal and arbitrary and consequently, direct the respondents not to interfere with the civil disputes and also the petitioner’s life and liberty and her family members. The case of the Writ Petitioner, in brief, is as follows: Petitioner is the resident of Reddipalli, Amalapuram Rural Mandal. 4th respondent is her father-in-law who is an Ex councilor of Amalapuram Municipality and who has political influence. 5th respondent is her mother-in-law who is the absolute owner of the site and house situated in an extent of 231 Sq.Yards in R.S.No.373/4, Door No.1-3-24, Amalapuram, East Godavari District and who has executed a registered irrevocable General Power of Attorney in favour of her son and husband on 15-3-1991 authorizing him to look after the site and giving a right to sell away the same. The mother-in-law of the petitioner sold the property in question to the petitioner and executed a sale deed on 19-03- 2008 and the same was delivered to him and since the date of purchase, the petitioner has been in possession and enjoyment of the same. While so, the petitioner came to know that her in-laws are trying to alienate the property in question to some 3rd parties and having come to know about the same, the petitioner got published in Eenadu local Newspaper on 29-5-2008 to the effect that he has purchased the said property on 19-3-2008 and has been in possession and enjoyment of the same and hence, public are cautioned not to enter into the same. While the matter stood thus, the father-in-law of the petitioner, at the instance of 4th respondent, influenced the respondents 2 and 3 –Police officials to harass the petitioner and his family members. Respondents 2 and 3-Police officials are sending their constables very frequently to the house of the petitioner and summoning the petitioner and her husband to the Police Station every day and making them to sit in the Police Station hours together and threatening them with dire consequences to transfer the said property in favour of the respondents 4 and 5. Due to the harassment being made by the police, the petitioner along with his family members are facing mental agony. Hence, this Writ Petition. In the Counter-affidavit filed by the 3rd respondent-Police official, the 3rd respondent denied all the allegations mentioned in the affidavit filed by the petitioner in support of the Writ Petition. The respondents never summoned the petitioner or his family members to the Police Station nor harassed them at any point of time. To prevent police from taking any action in future, if any complaint is lodged against them by any one, the petitioner rushed to this Court and filed the present Writ Petition. Hence, this Writ Petition is devoid of merits and the same is liable to be dismissed. Heard the learned Counsel for the petitioner and learned Government Pleader for Home. Perused the material available on record. While issuing notice before admission, on 18-09- 2008 this Court granted interim direction to the respondents 2 and 3 not to interfere with the life and liberty of the petitioner and not to interfere with the civil disputes between the petitioner and respondents 4 and 5 without following due process of law. The main grievance of the petitioner is that the respondents- Police Officials are harassing the petitioner and his family members calling them to the Police Station every day and threatening them to transfer the land in question to the respondents 4 and 5 and apart from that, they are interfering with the civil matter and in this connection, the petitioner and his family members are unable to live peacefully because of mental agony caused by the respondents- police officials at the instance of 4th respondent. To substantiate the case of the petitioner, no material has been placed before this Court by the petitioner except making bold averments. In this view of the matter and in view of the facts and circumstances of the case, I do not find any reason to grant any relief as sought for in this Writ Petition and the same is liable to be dismissed. Accordingly, this Writ Petition is dismissed. No order as to costs. ________________________ Justice G.CHANDRAIAH Dated 25th September, 2009 Dvs HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE G.CHANDRAIAH WRIT PETITION No.20378 OF 2008 Dated 25-9-2009
