IN THE HIGH COURT FOR THE STATE OF TELANGANA AT HYDERABAD THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE N.TUKARAMJI DATE: 02.12.2025 Between :
Valigonda Sugnyana … Petitioner AND The State of Telangana, Represented by its Principal Secretary, Home Department, Secretariat, Hyderabad, and seven others.
… Respondents.
O R D E R:
This Writ Petition is filed under Article 226 of the Constitution of India seeking the following relief:
“…to issue an appropriate Writ, Order or Direction, more particularly, one in the nature of Writ of Mandamus, to declare the inaction of the respondent Nos. 2 to 5 herein in investigating into Cr. No. 494/2018 for the offences U/Sections 3(1)(s) of SC ST (POA) Act, 2015 and 506 r/w 34 IPC, though the said crime is registered on 22-9-2018 as being illegal, arbitrary, unconstitutional and contrary to the provisions of Rule 7 of the SC/ST (POA) Act and consequently direct the respondent police to complete the investigation in accordance with the Law and to file the charge sheet before the competent Court, and to grant such other relief or reliefs…”
2. None appeared on behalf of the petitioner.
3. Mr. D. Pradeep, learned Assistant Government Pleader for Home, appearing for respondent Nos. 1 to 5, submits that Crime No. 494 of 2018 of Bachupally Police Station, Cyberabad Commissionerate, was duly investigated, and after completion of investigation, a charge sheet was filed. The case was thereafter numbered as S.C. No. 82 of 2021 on the file of the learned Special Sessions Judge for Trial of Cases under the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989-cum-VII Additional District and Sessions Judge, Ranga Reddy District at L.B. Nagar, and the same is presently pending trial. Hence, it is submitted that nothing further remains in this matter for consideration. The learned Assistant Government Pleader further submits that the contention raised by the petitioner does not survive as on date and prays for dismissal of the writ petition.
4. I have perused the material on record.
5. The grievance of the petitioner is that the respondent police authorities have failed to proceed with the investigation in Crime No. 494 of 2018. However, the developments reported by the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Home clearly demonstrate that the investigation in the said crime has been completed, a charge sheet has been filed, and the case has been taken cognizance of as a Sessions Case, which is presently pending trial before the competent Court. These facts establish that the grievance of the petitioner has been effectively addressed by the respondent police authorities. Therefore, in the circumstances, nothing further remains for consideration in this matter.
6. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is dismissed as infructuous. There shall be no order as to costs.
Pending miscellaneous applications, if any, shall stand closed.
