Sabhani Srinivasa Raju, v. The Government Of Telangana,

HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE P. KESHAVA RAO WRIT PETITION No.27651 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 writ or direction more particularly writ of mandamus declaring the action of respondents 2 to 4 in insisting and subjecting the petitioner for physical and mental harassment at the behest of respondents 5 to 9 for payment of Rs.18,00,000 lakhs to the respondents 5 to 9 under the alleged agreement dated 30.07.2014, as illegal and arbitrary and consequently direct the respondents 2 to 4 not to cause physical harassment and threat to his life for payment of a sum of Rs.18,00,000 lakhs to the respondents 5 to 9 under the alleged agreement dated 30.07.2014." During the course of hearing, learned Government Pleader placed on record written instructions dated 22.09.2014 issued by the Inspector of Police, Huzurabad Police Station, Karimnagar District.

From a perusal of the said written instructions, it is revealed that the 5th respondent approached the police station and orally requested respondent Nos.3 and 4 to take action against the petitioner as he is not repaying the agreement amount of Rs.18 lakhs. To enquiry in to the matter, respondent No.3 called the petitioner on cell-phone to know the facts. As the matter relates to money transaction, respondent No.3 advised the complainant/5th respondent to approach concerned Court for redressal of his grievance. Except making a phone call to the petitioner to know the

facts, respondent No.3 never harassed, threatened or insisted him at the behest of respondent Nos.5 to 9 for payment of the alleged amount of Rs.18 lakhs to them. The allegation of the petitioner that on 15.08.2014 the respondent police brought him to the police station, harassed mentally, physically and insisted to pay the alleged amount to respondent Nos.5 to 9 is also specifically denied. It is further mentioned in the written instructions that there is a monitory transaction between the petitioner and respondent Nos.5 to 9 and the petitioner is unnecessarily involving the respondent police in civil litigation for which the police have nothing to do with it. It is also mentioned that as on the date of issuance of the written instructions no criminal case was registered against the petitioner as well as respondent Nos.5 to 9 on the file of the 3rd respondent police station.

In view of the above said statements, this Court is of the opinion that no further cause would survive in the writ petition and the same is liable to be closed. Accordingly, the writ petition is closed. No order as to costs.

Miscellaneous petitions, if any, shall also stand closed. _____________________ P. KESHAVA RAO, J Date: 18.12.2019.
