In a recent decision by Judge N. Tukaramji, a written request filed by M. Srinivas was dismissed because it no longer mattered. The case was about the failure to file a First Information Report (FIR) even though a complaint was made about serious crimes.
M. Srinivas, a businessman from Sircilla, filed a complaint on April 11, 2016. He claimed that the local police, specifically the Superintendent of Police Karimnagar and the Station House Officer at Sircilla, did not file an FIR. The complaint was against Konda Srinivas and Goli Venkatramana, who were accused of serious crimes that could lead to arrest without a warrant.
M. Srinivas argued that the police's lack of action was unfair and violated his rights under Articles 14, 19, and 21 of the Indian Constitution. He asked for a court order to force the police to file the FIR and take necessary action.
"The action of the respondent Nos. 2 and 3 in not registering a FIR... is nothing but arbitrary, illegal, null and void."
Despite the serious nature of the accusations, the case took an unexpected turn. Ms. Isha Mehra, representing M. Srinivas, informed the court that the issue was no longer relevant. As a result, Judge N. Tukaramji dismissed the request because it no longer had any practical importance.
With the request dismissed, no further legal action will be taken based on M. Srinivas's complaint. The court also noted that there would be no order regarding costs, and any pending additional applications were closed.
In summary, although the original complaint raised important concerns, the dismissal of the case shows how situations can change, making legal actions unnecessary.
