T.D. Nagaraj ... Petitioner Vs.
The Asst. Superintendent of Police, Adoni, Kurnool district & Ors. ... Respondents Counsel for the Petitioner: Sri K.V. Raghuveer Counsel for the Respondents: GP for Home The Court made the following: [order follows]
O R D E R :
This writ petition is filed under Article 226 of the Constitution of India for the following relief : "To declare the action of respondents 2 and 3 in interfering with the civil disputes between the petitioners and the respondents 4 to 8 and harassing the petitioners to withdraw civil suit pending as illegal, arbitrary and in violation of the principles of natural justice and consequently to direct the respondents 2 and 3 not to call upon the petitioners to the police station and insist to withdraw the civil case pending between the petitioner and respondents 4 to 8 and to pass such other suitable orders as this court may deems fit and proper in the circumstances of the case."
2. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Home for the respondents.
3. A counter-affidavit is filed by the third respondent SubInspector of Police, Peddakadabur Police Station, Kurnool district, wherein at para No.7 it is stated as follows: It is respectfully submitted that mere registration of criminal case and proceeding with the same in accordance with law, does not amount to be interference of the respondent police into the civil disputes. I humbly submit that only to divert the attention of the investigating agency, the petitioner filed the
present writ petition with baseless allegations. At no point of time, this respondent police neither interfered with the civil disputes nor asked the petitioners to settle the matter with the unofficial respondents herein and hand over the possession to them. Hence, the writ petition is devoid of any merits.
4. On noticing the same, the learned counsel for the petitioner has requested this court to dispose of the writ petition by recording the said averments of the counter-affidavit on record.
5. In view of the above, the writ petition is disposed of by recording the above averments of the counter-affidavit. No costs.
6. As a sequel, miscellaneous petitions if any, pending in this writ petition shall stand closed.
