P.Narayan Reddy, v. Prl.Secy., Home Dept., State Of T.S.,

THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE M.SEETHARAMA MURTI WRIT PETITION No.8889 of 2018 ORDER:

In this writ petition, the grievance of the petitioner is with regard to the inaction of the respondents in registering a case pursuant to the report lodged on 30.12.2017 with the second respondent-Station House Officer, Parigi Town Police Station, Parigi, against the fourth respondent, despite the fact that the said report discloses cognizable offences.

2.

I have heard the submissions of the learned counsel for the petitioner and of the learned Government Pleader for Home (T.S.) appearing for respondents 1 to 3. I have perused material record. 3.

Learned counsel for the petitioner would submit that the police officer concerned is supposed to receive the report lodged and follow the guidelines of the Supreme Court in Lalita Kumari v/s. Government of Uttar Pradesh1, and that for not doing the needful in the matter, the present writ petition is filed. 4.

Learned Government Pleader for Home, on oral instructions, fairly submits that as on today, no crime has been registered. 5.

Having regard to the submissions, the writ petition is disposed of directing the second respondent to follow the guidelines in the judgment aforestated and do the needful by strict adherence to the procedure established by law, within a week from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.

Pending miscellaneous petitions, if any, shall stand closed in the light of this final order. No order as to costs. ____________________________ M.SEETHARAMA MURTI, J Date: 29.03.2018 va 1 (2014) 2 SCC 1
