Petitioner And The State of Telangana, Rep., by its Secretary, Home Department, Secretariat, Hyderabad & others.

.. Respondents This court made the following :

- 2 - THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE P.NAVEEN RAO WRIT PETITION No.4255 OF 2019 ORDER :

Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Government Pleader for Home for respondents 1 to 3. 2.

This writ petition is filed alleging that the 3rd respondent is calling the petitioner to police station and threatening to settle the land disputes thereby causing interference in civil disputes and the same is illegal.

3.

Based on written instructions furnished to learned Government Pleader, by the Sub-Inspector of Police, Rajendranagar Police Station dated 20.03.2019, learned Government Pleader would submit that Crime No.393 of 2018 is registered in Rajendranagar Police Station on 06.03.2018 for the offence punishable under Section 427 of Indian Penal Code (for short 'IPC'). In the said complaint it was alleged that petitioner and others criminally trespassed into the plot of complainant and changed the plot structure. Further Crime No.440 of 2018 for the offence punishable under Section 427 IPC was registered on 13.03.2018 and Crime No.469 of 2018 was registered on 19.03.2018 for the offence punishable under Sections 427 and 323 IPC.

4.

Thus, there are three crimes registered against the petitioner. Therefore, it cannot be said that petitioner is unnecessarily called to the police station affecting his right to life and liberty. It cannot be said that police cannot investigate and call upon the petitioner in the process of investigation into the

- 3 - crime reported against him. Therefore, there is no merit in the contentions urged in the writ petition.

5.

Having regard to the above, the Writ Petition is dismissed. However, it is needless to observe that police shall follow due process, not to call the petitioner unless his presence is required in the process of investigation and shall not unnecessarily harass the petitioner. Pending miscellaneous petitions, if any, shall stand closed.
