The petitioner is residing with her husband and children for the last 20 years. On 21.03.2014., her husband left the house at about 11.30 am to Madiwala in his business place, close to his house by saying that he will not come for lunch in the noon and would return home only in the evening. She waited till 9 p.m. When he did not turn up she gave a call to his mobile number 7411956899. The said mobile was switched off. She continued to give a call for more than half an hour. The mobile was not switched on. Therefore she was shocked and gave a call to all the relatives and friends and known people regarding the whereabouts of her husband. When she, her friends and relatives could not trace her husband, she lodged a complaint to the jurisdictional police (third respondent) on 23.3.2014 with all information and to take necessary action to find out the whereabouts of her husband. On her complaint, a case was registered in Crime No. 190/2014 and they assured her that her husband would be traced in two days. After two days, when she approached the police, they did not respond properly. Therefore, she requested her relative and cousin, Anand Kumar, Mahesh Charan, Arun Vardhan, Who are all working for and studying in private concerns and colleges, to find out the call records of Muniraju. All of them requested third respondent to find out call logs, tower locations and voice records to trace the whereabouts of Muniraju. After five days, the police collected the call records of the mobile number of Muniraju. It was found that one Sri Gangadhar gave a call to Muniraju at 1.52 pm on 21.03.2014 and thereafter, it was switched off. From the call records, it was found that on the next day at about 9.51 am it was switched on and it was switched off by 9.58 am. During the said time, the tower was located at Kodihalli, Paragi Mandal, Hindupur Taluk, Ananthpur District and therefore, the petitioner and her relatives requested the third respondent to act upon the investigation immediately by way of collecting the voice records and tower locations. The respondents did not show any interest. Because of the non co-operation of the police, she tried to lodge a complaint with respondent Nos.1 and 2. However, the third respondent is threatening the petitioner and children not to go before respondent Nos. 1 and 2 and he has also threatened the petitioner saying that if she pursues further, she will face grave consequences. The third respondent Sri. Rajesh said that Muniraju was not a good person and owed money to several persons and let him go missing. He also said as to why he should go behind the said person unnecessarily. The third respondent, instead of searching for the missing person, is scolding the petitioner and her children, relatives and has not properly responded.

It is a matter of one hour for the police to collect the voice records of the mobile of the missing person. 3ut; the third respondent police has not collected the same even as on today nor tried to do the needful to trace the missing person. Therefore the petitioner and her relatives have printed pamphlets
