Shaik Shabeera Begum v. The State Of Andhra Pradesh, Rep. By Its Principal Secretary

THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE SANJAY KUMAR WRIT PETITION No. 4971 OF 2016

O R D E R

The grievance of the petitioner in this case was that the police authorities failed to take action upon her complaints dated 24.07.2015 and 07.12.2015.

The Sub Inspector of Police, Sanathnagar Police Station, Cyberabad, furnished written instructions dated 29.02.2016 to the Office of the learned Government Pleader for Home, wherein he stated that no complaint has been received by the Sanathnagar Police from the petitioner.

In that view of the matter, learned counsel for the petitioner fairly states that liberty may be given to the petitioner to make a fresh complaint in accordance with law.

The writ petition is accordingly disposed of leaving it open to the petitioner to make a fresh complaint to the police authorities, if warranted. Needless to state, in the event such a complaint is made, the police authorities are bound to take action thereupon in the light of the law laid down by the Supreme Court in Lalita Kumari v. Government of Uttar Pradesh[1].

Pending miscellaneous petitions, if any, shall also stand closed. No order as to costs.
