Summary: A request by Sri Mahammed Naseer Khan to challenge the filing of a police report was dismissed as unnecessary by Justice N. Tukaramji. The case had already been settled, with the accused found not guilty.
Sri Mahammed Naseer Khan filed a request under Article 226 of the Indian Constitution. He wanted the court to say that the filing of FIR No.62 of 2016 by the Asif Nagar Police Station was illegal. He argued that the police ignored his initial complaint from March 2 and 3, 2016, and instead acted on a later report by Mr. Mahmood, an assistant city planner.
"…to issue a writ order or direction… declaring the action of the Station House Officer Asif Nagar Police Station… as illegal arbitrary and contrary to section 154 of Cr.P.C…"
The Assistant Government Lawyer told the court that after looking into Crime No.62 of 2016, a formal charge was filed. The case was numbered C.C.No.803 of 2018, and the accused was found not guilty on March 14, 2024, by the I Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate in Hyderabad.
Justice N. Tukaramji dismissed the request as it was no longer needed. The issues raised by Sri Mahammed Naseer Khan had already been resolved with the acquittal of the accused.
"Having considering the development… this Writ Petition is dismissed as infructuous."
The court decided that no further action was needed, and no costs were imposed. The case was already settled with the acquittal of the accused.
