HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE P. KESHAVA RAO WRIT PETITION No.19338 of 2014 ORDER:

Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner as well as the learned Government Pleader appearing for respondent Nos.1 to 4.

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 respondent No.2 to 4 in not taking any action against the respondent No.5 to 9 in Crime No.271 of 2013 of Mahabubnagar II Town Police Station and not providing protection to the petitioner from the hands of the respondent No.5 to 9, as illegal, arbitrary, against violative of Article 14, 19 and 21 of Constitution of India against the principles of natural justice consequently to direct the respondent No.1 to 4 to take appropriate action against the respondent No.5 to 9 as per law by initiating investigation in Crime No.271/2013 of Mahabubnagar II Town Police Station by providing protection to the petitioner from the hands of the respondent No.5 to 9."

Learned Government Pleader placed on record written instructions dated 16.12.2019 issued by the Sub-Inspector of Police, Mahabubnagar II Town Police Station, Mahabubnagar District.

From a perusal of the said written instructions, it is revealed that basing on the complaint lodged by the petitioner, a case in Crime No.271 of 2013 of Mahabubnagar II Town Police Station was registered for the offence under Sections 506 and 323 IPC and Section 3(1)(x) of the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (POA) Act, 1989 on the file of the Mahabubnagar I Town Police Station on 26.12.2018.

Pursuant to the registration of crime,

investigation was completed and a charge sheet was also filed. After taking cognizance of the offence, the matter was taken on file vide S.C.No.27 of 2015 on the file of the Special Sessions Judge-cum-VII Additional District and Sessions Judge, Mahabubnagar. After trial, the case ended in acquittal by judgment dated 31.03.2017.

Since the grievance of the petitioner that respondent police are not taking action against respondent No.5 to 9 pursuant to the registration of Crime No.271 of 2013 was redressed, and as the matter ended in acquittal, this Court is of the opinion that no further cause would survive in the writ petition.

Accordingly, the writ petition is closed. The presence of the 4th respondent is dispensed with. No order as to costs. Miscellaneous petitions, if any, shall also stand closed. _____________________ P. KESHAVA RAO, J Date: 16.12.2019.
