Smt. Chetula Nagamani and another …Petitioner AND The State of Telangana Rep by its Prl Secretary, Home Department, Secretariat, Hyderabad and 7 others …Respondents

ORDER:

This Writ Petition is filed under Article 226 of Constitution of India seeking the following relief/s:- “…to issue a Writ, Order, Orders or Directions more particularly one in the nature of Writ of Mandamus, declaring the action of the 4th respondents police in not taking action against the unofficial respondents 5 to 8 and their henchmen in connection with the crimes registered against them in respect of the petitioners land in Sy No. 38/A to an extent of Ac.3.00 gts situated at Sompally Village, Burgampahad Mandal, Bhadradri Kothagudem District is illegal and avoid and opposed to Articles 14, 19,21, and 300-A of Constitution of India and consequently to direct the respondents police to take action against the unofficial respondents 5 to 8 in accordance with law by giving police protection to the petitioners and their lands.….”

2. None appeared for the petitioner.

3.1. Mr. Laxmikanth Reddy, learned Assistant Government Pleader for Home, appearing for respondent Nos. 1 to 4, submits that in the crimes registered against the unofficial respondents, vide Crime Nos. 174, 181, and 267 of 2019, after due investigation, charge sheets were filed and Calendar Cases were taken on file as C.C. Nos. 975, 897, and 1127 of 2019, respectively, on the file of the Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Bhadrachalam. The said cases are presently pending for trial.

3.2. He further submits that, insofar as the request for extension of police protection to the petitioners and their lands is concerned, the petitioners have not approached the respondent-police authorities seeking such protection. He therefore prays for appropriate orders.

4. I have perused the material available on record.

5. The grievance of the petitioners is that the respondent- police authorities have not taken action against the unofficial respondents in the crimes registered against them and have failed to extend police protection to the petitioners and their lands.

6. However, the explanation offered by the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Home indicates that the crimes were duly investigated and, upon filing of charge sheets, the Calendar Cases were numbered and are presently pending trial before the jurisdictional Magistrate. Thus, the contention regarding inaction on the part of the police in respect of the registered crimes is unfounded.

7. Insofar as the request for police protection is concerned, the explanation that the petitioners did not approach the police authorities seeking such protection appears reasonable.

8. Nevertheless, liberty is granted to the petitioners to approach the respondent-police authorities as and when any situation arises necessitating police protection to their persons or lands. Upon such approach, the respondent- police shall consider the same and take appropriate action, strictly in accordance with law.

9. With these observations, this writ petition is disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs.

Miscellaneous Petitions, pending if any, shall stand closed.
