IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD (Special Original Jurisdiction) PRESENT: THE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY FRIDAY, THE NINETEENTH DAY OF JUNE, TWO THOUSAND NINE ONLY WRIT PETITION No.12175 of 2006 Between: K. Jojaiah … Petitioner And Director General of Police, A.P., Saifabad, Hyderabad & others. … Respondents Counsel for the petitioner : Sri I.V. Ramesh Counsel for the respondents: AGP for Home This Court made the following: THE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.12175 of 2006 ORDER:- In this writ petition, the grievance of the petitioner is that the respondents have failed to make proper investigation into the cause of death of his daughter Ms. Kathacheruvu Thresa @ Thresamma. At the hearing, the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Home, on instructions, submitted that the case, which was registered under Section 174 Cr.P.C., was investigated into and as it was found that the deceased committed suicide, a report was filed before the executive Magistrate. Sri I.V. Ramesh, learned counsel for the petitioner lamented that due to improper investigation, the real culprits, who are responsible for forcing the petitioner’s daughter to die, escaped and since the crime was registered under Section 174 Cr.P.C, the same facilitated the police to file a report before the executive Magistrate, denying an opportunity to the petitioner to file a protest petition before the jurisdictional Magistrate. In my considered view, the petitioner has a right to approach the jurisdictional Magistrate with a private complaint under Section 190 read with Section 200 Cr.P.C. If such a complaint is filed within a period of six weeks from today, the jurisdictional Magistrate shall entertain the same and initiate process without raising any objection on the delay in the petitioner filing the private complaint. Subject to the above observations, the writ petition is disposed of. As a sequel to disposal of the writ petition, WPMP.No.15148 of 2006 filed by the petitioner for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous. _____________________________ C.V.
