In a recent decision, the court dismissed a request about a complaint that wasn't registered as a crime. The case was about whether the police should have registered a complaint made in 2016. Let's break it down.
The petitioner, P Vittal Reddy, wanted the court to tell the police to register a crime based on his complaint from August 16, 2016. He felt the police's lack of action was wrong and wanted them to do something about it.
Justice N. Tukaramji looked into the case. The Assistant Government Lawyer, Mr. R. Laxmikanth Reddy, explained that the police did register the complaint as FIR No. 454 of 2016. After investigating, they found the issue was more about property or money (a civil matter), not a crime.
"The issue raised in the petition no longer needs to be decided."
Since the police already investigated and decided it was a civil matter, the court said there was no need for further action. The case was dismissed as "infructuous," meaning it was no longer relevant.
The court decided that since the police had already looked into the complaint and found it to be a civil issue, there was no reason to continue with the case. The petition was dismissed.
