M.A.Hameed v. The State Of Telangana Rep By Its Principal Secretary,

THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO WRIT PETITION No.39249 OF 2016 ORDER:

The writ petition is filed by the petitioners seeking a writ of mandamus declaring the action of the second respondent in registering crime No.129 of 2016 and threatening to arrest the petitioners as illegal and arbitrary, and consequently to quash the same.

Heard and perused the material.

Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the complaint is lodged without any valid grounds and that the same is lodged only to harass the petitioner and as such, he prays this Court to quash the same. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, this Court is not inclined to quash the proceedings at the threshold. However, taking into consideration the fact that the case is arising out of a civil dispute between the petitioners and the third respondent, the second respondent is directed to complete the investigation without arresting the petitioners and file final report, if any, in accordance with law. The petitioners are directed to appear before the second respondent and execute a personal bond for a sum of Rs.5,000/- (Rupees five thousand only) each with one surety for the likesum each for their future appearance for the purpose of investigation. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of. Consequently, miscellaneous petitions, if any shall also stand disposed of. _____________________ JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO 15.11.2016 pln
