THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE N.TUKARAMJI WRIT PETITION No.31156 OF 2016

O R D E R:

This Writ Petition is filed under Article 226 of Constitution of India seeking the following relief/s:-

“…to issue a writ of mandamus or any other appropriate writ or direction declaring the action of the 3rd and 4th respondent in interfering in the civil disputes between the petitioners and 5th respondent as illegal and consequently direct the 3rd and 4th respondent not to interfere in the civil disputes and pass such other or further orders as the Hon’ble Court feels deem fit and proper if the facts and circumstances of the case and pass such other order..….”

2. None appeared on behalf of the petitioners.

3. I have heard Mr.R.Laxmikanth Reddy, learned Assistant Government Pleader for Home appearing for respondent Nos.1 to 4.

4. Learned Assistant Government Pleader for Home submits that the contention of the petitioners that, they are being frequently summoned to the police station and that the respondent police are interfering in their civil disputes, is wholly unsubstantiated by any material. It is further submitted that the respondent police authorities have never interfered with the civil disputes of the petitioners. He points out that respondent No.5 lodged a police complaint, on the basis of which Crime No.242 of 2016 was registered. During the course of enquiry and investigation, the presence of the petitioners was secured. Upon completion of investigation, a charge sheet was filed before the Court of the learned Additional Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Gadwal. Subsequently, during the pendency of those proceedings, the parties amicably settled their disputes before the Lok Adalat on 09.03.2018, whereupon the offences were compounded by the competent Court. Thus, no further cause survives for adjudication in this writ petition.

5. I have carefully perused the materials available on record.

6. In view of the developments that transpired during the pendency of this petition, and as the grievance raised by the petitioners has become infructuous in light of the settlement of the underlying crime, no cause of action now survives. However, having regard to the submissions and the contention regarding civil disputes, it is directed that the respondent police authorities shall refrain from interfering in the civil disputes of the petitioners, save and except in strict accordance with law.

Accordingly, this writ petition is disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs.

Miscellaneous Petitions, pending if any, shall stand closed.
