HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO WRIT PETITION No:35021 OF 2016 ORDER:

The present writ petition is filed by the petitioners to issue a Writ of Mandamus declaring the action of the 4th respondent in registering a case in Crime No.153 of 2016 on the file of Tadikonda Police Station for the offence under Sections 120-B and 420 r/w 34 IPC, without obtaining any scientific report and without conducting any enquiry, as illegal and arbitrary, and consequently, to set aside the same. 2.

It is stated in the affidavit that the 1st petitioner is the Managing Director of M/s Brahmaputra Hybrid Seed Private Limited, Hyderabad. The said company is producing and distributing the seeds in Hyderabad, Guntur District and other States.

2016 on the file of the Tadikonda Police Station, and file a final report, in accordance with law in either way, without arresting the petitioners. 6.
