High Court for the State of Telangana (N. Tukaramji, J.), W.P. No. 27418 of 2019, decided 13-11-2025: Writ petition under Article 226 sought a declaration that the inaction and inordinate delay in investigating Crime No.2638/2017, FIR dated 30.12.2017 (Station House Officer, Rajendra Nagar, Cyberabad), amounted to inefficiency on the part of the Home Department, and a mandamus to respondents 4 and 5 to expedite the investigation, arrest the accused and file the charge sheet. None appeared for the petitioner. The learned Assistant Government Pleader for Home (D. Pradeep) submitted that the crime had been duly investigated but, remaining undetected, a final report was filed on 30.10.2021 before the XI Additional Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Rajendranagar. Holding that the petitioner's request no longer survived and nothing remained for deliberation, the Court dismissed the writ petition as infructuous, with no order as to costs, and closed pending miscellaneous applications.
