IN THE HIGH COURT FOR THE STATE OF TELANGANA AT HYDERABAD THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE N.TUKARAMJI WRIT PETITION No.46679 OF 2018 DATE: 03.12.2025 Between :

Avula Srinivas … Petitioner AND The State of Telangana, Represented by Principal Secretary, Home Department, Secretariat Building, Hyderabad and two 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, declaring the action of the respondents herein in not providing police protection to the petitioner herein in pursuance to his representation dated 05.11.2018 as there is a serious threat to the life and personal liberty of the petitioner herein as being illegal, arbitrary, discriminatory, and violation of Articles 14 and 21 of the Constitution of India …”

2. Mr. S. Ashritha Rao, learned Counsel appearing for the petitioner, submits that as the respondent police failed to provide police protection despite the petitioner’s representation dated 05.11.2018, the present writ petition has been filed seeking appropriate directions from this Court.

3. Learned Assistant Government Pleader for Home submits that the petitioner’s representation was treated as a complaint and registered as Crime No. 522 of 2018. After due investigation, a final report was filed before the XIV Additional Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Rajendranagar, classifying the matter as civil in nature. In view of such conclusion, no police protection was extended. It is therefore contended that the allegations against the respondent police authorities are unfounded, and the writ petition deserves to be dismissed.

4. I have perused the material placed on record.

5. The contention of the petitioner is that the representation was not acted upon and that police protection was not provided. However, the explanation offered by the respondent police authorities indicates that the representation was duly considered, a crime was registered, and upon investigation, the matter was closed by filing a final report before the competent Court. Accordingly, it is evident that the grievance of the petitioner has been duly addressed by the respondent police authorities.

6. Nevertheless, if the petitioner is aggrieved by the filing of the final report, liberty is reserved to avail appropriate remedies as available under law before the learned Magistrate concerned. The writ petition is, accordingly, disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs.

Pending miscellaneous applications, if any, shall stand closed.
