Potla Ramachandraiah v. The State Of Telangana, Rep. By Its Principal Secretary,

HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE P.KESHAVA RAO WRIT PETITION No.457 of 2015 ORDER:

The present Writ Petition is filed seeking the following relief: "... to issue a writ, order or direction more particularly one in the nature of Writ of Mandamus declaring the action of respondent Nos.4 and 5 in not taking any action on the complaints dated 31.02.2014, 07.12.2014, 08.12.2014 and 30.12.2014 lodged by the petitioners against respondent Nos.6 to 9 as illegal, arbitrary and in violation of principles of natural justice and to pass such other order or orders as this Hon'ble Court may deem fit and proper in the circumstances of the case."

The main grievance of the petitioners is that in spite of lodging complaints on 31.02.2014, 07.12.2014, 08.12.2014 and 30.12.2014 before the Station House Officer, Chintakani Police Station, Khammam District, respondent No.5 herein, and also the report, dated 18.12.2014, submitted by the Village Revenue Officer, Chintakani to respondent No.5, no action is being taken against respondent Nos.6 to 9 for their illegal acts. Learned Government Pleader for Home appearing for respondent Nos.1 to 5 placed on record the written instructions dated 09.02.2015.

A perusal of the said written instructions would reveal that on the report submitted by the Village Revenue Officer, respondent No.5, after conducting a preliminary enquiry, a case in Crime No.11 of 2015 on the file of Chintakani Police Station was registered against respondent No.6 on 20.01.2015 and the investigation was taken up. It is further stated that the petitioners having bore grudge

PKR, J W.P.No.457 of 2015 Dt:27.8.2019 against the unofficial respondents filed the present Writ Petition making baseless allegations against the respondent Police. Having heard the learned Government Pleader for Home and in the light of the contents in the written statement, it is evident that the grievance of the petitioners stood redressed since pursuant to their complaint, a case in Crime No.11 of 2015 has already been registered against the unofficial respondents and the investigation was taken up in the matter.

In that view of the matter, this Court is of the opinion that no further cause would survive in the Writ Petition for adjudication and no useful purpose would be served in keeping the Writ Petition pending for a further period.

Therefore, the Writ Petition is closed.

As a sequel, Miscellaneous Petitions pending, if any, shall stand closed. No order as to costs.
