Issue for consideration

Whether the action of the 4th respondent in not closing the FIR in Crime No.963 of 2016, registered at the instance of respondents 5 to 9, despite the petitioner's readiness to give a statement that she voluntarily left her father (respondent No.5), and the failure to give her protection against an alleged life threat from respondents 5 to 9, is arbitrary, illegal and violative of Articles 14, 19(1)(g) and 21 of the Constitution. +1 more

Detailed headnote1 paragraphs

High Court for the State of Telangana at Hyderabad (Special Original Jurisdiction), single bench of Justice N. Tukaramji - Writ Petition No. 32727 of 2016, decided 08-09-2025. Petitioner Malireddy Mounika Reddy sought a writ of mandamus directing the 4th respondent (Station House Officer, P.S. L.B. Nagar, Cyberabad) to close the FIR in Crime No.963 of 2016 dated 11.8.2016, lodged at the instance of respondents 5 to 9 (including her parents, respondents 5 and 6), contending that non-closure despite her readiness to state that she had voluntarily left her father, and the absence of protection against an alleged life threat from respondents 5 to 9, were arbitrary, illegal and violative of Articles 14, 19(1)(g) and 21 of the Constitution; an interim petition under Section 151 CPC prayed for closure pending disposal. The learned Assistant Government Pleader for Home submitted that upon registration and after due enquiry a final report was prepared endorsing 'false' and the FIR had been closed. Finding that the crime itself had been closed and nothing further survived for adjudication, the court dismissed the writ petition as infructuous, made no order as to costs, and directed that pending petitions, if any, stand closed.
