HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE P. KESHAVA RAO WRIT PETITION No.554 of 2014 ORDER:

Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Home appearing for respondent Nos.1 and 2. The prayer sought in the writ petition is as under: "... to issue a writ, order or direction more particularly one in the nature of writ of Mandamus by declaring the action of the respondents in interfering with the civil disputes pending between the petitioner and the respondent No.3 as being illegal, arbitrary, violative of Articles 14 and 21 of the Constitution of India and consequently direct the respondents not to interfere and harass the petitioner in the disputes between the petitioner and the 3rd respondent."

The main grievance of the petitioner in the writ petition is that respondent Nos.1 and 2 are interfering in the civil disputes between the petitioner and the 3rd respondent without any authority in law. Learned Government Pleader appearing for respondent Nos.1 and 2 placed on record the written instructions dated 29.08.2019 issued by the Inspector of Police, Banjara Hills Police Station, Hyderabad. A perusal of the said instructions would reveal that the 3rd respondent lodged a complaint on 04.01.2014 with the Banjara Hills Police Station stating that the petitioner received Rs.10,60,000/- from him and deceived him. In that connection, a case in Crime No.6 of 2014 was registered for the offence under Section 420 IPC against the petitioner. However, the said complaint was closed as "lack of evidence".

In the instructions the 2nd respondent specifically denied the allegation that he harassed the petitioner and interfered with the civil dispute between the petitioner and the 3rd respondent. It is also mentioned that the allegation that the 2nd respondent threatened the petitioner at the instance of the 3rd respondent is also incorrect. A copy of the said written instructions is made part of the record.

In view of the above mentioned facts, this Court is of the opinion that no further cause would survive in the writ petition. Accordingly, the writ petition is closed. No order as to costs. Miscellaneous petitions, if any, shall also stand closed. ___________________ P. KESHAVA RAO, J Date: 03.09.2019.
