Quick Summary: A request to get the police involved in alleged illegal activities on a religious property's land in Attapur was turned down by the court. The judge pointed out that Mahant Sri Pradeep Kumar Agarwal should seek solutions through other legal ways.
The case is about a disagreement involving the Sri Brahmachary Muth in Attapur, Telangana. Mahant Sri Pradeep Kumar Agarwal claimed that some people were unlawfully entering and building on the Muth's land. Despite making several complaints to the police, no formal police report was filed.
"Mahant Sri Pradeep Kumar Agarwal claimed illegal entry and building on the Muth property without any police action."
Mahant Sri Pradeep Kumar Agarwal had filed several complaints on different dates in 2016, hoping the police would step in. However, the police did not file a formal report, allegedly because of the influence of a local politician. Mahant Sri Pradeep Kumar Agarwal then asked the court to order the police to take action.
Justice N. Tukaramji listened to the case. Mahant Sri Pradeep Kumar Agarwal's lawyer argued for an order to the police to file the case. However, the Assistant Government Lawyer argued that such a request is not suitable for making the police file a report.
"The court noted that using Article 226 is not the right way for this issue."
The court referred to several Supreme Court decisions, including Sakiri Vasu v. State of U.P. and M. Subramaniam v. S. Janaki, which stress that complaints about not filing police reports should first be handled through the usual legal processes under the Code of Criminal Procedure.
Justice Tukaramji concluded that Mahant Sri Pradeep Kumar Agarwal had not shown any special reasons that would justify skipping these usual processes.
The request was turned down as it was not suitable, with the court advising Mahant Sri Pradeep Kumar Agarwal to go to the Magistrate for help. The decision highlights the need to follow the usual legal steps before asking higher courts for help.
"The court dismissed the request, advising Mahant Sri Pradeep Kumar Agarwal to try other legal options."
