This Contempt Case is filed alleging wilful disobedience of order dated 23.04.2010 in Writ Petition No.4922 of 2010.
The petitioner herein filed Writ Petition No.4922 of 2010 with the grievance that the police have not been properly investigating Crime No.375 of 2009 and have failed to take effective steps in connection therewith. This Court disposed of the said writ petition, by order dated 23.04.2010, wherein while taking note of the averments contained in the counter-affidavit filed by respondent No.2 herein, directed him to file appropriate report/charge sheet within a period of two weeks. In this Contempt Case, the petitioner alleged that despite the said order and expiry of the time stipulated by this Court, the respondent has not completed the investigation and filed appropriate report.
In the counter-affidavit filed by respondent No.2 i.e., the Assistant Commissioner of Police, Gopalapuram Division, Secunderabad, it is inter alia stated that after completing the investigation and obtaining permission from the Commissioner of Police, Hyderabad City, the respondents have filed final report in the Court of X-Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, Secunderabad, on 17.06.2010 reporting the complaint as lacking in evidence. The delay occurred in filing the report was attributed to administrative reasons and respondent No.2 has tendered unconditional apology for the same.
Inasmuch as the respondents have complied with the order of the Court albeit belatedly, I do not find any reason to proceed against them further in the Contempt Case.
The Contempt Case is accordingly closed.
