Writ Petition No. 38274 of 2015 (Husna Begum v. The State of Telangana and others) — petition under Article 226 filed in 2015 sought declaration that the action of Respondent No.2 (Inspector of Police, CCS, Basheer Bagh, Hyderabad) in harassing the petitioner to know the whereabouts of her son was illegal, unconstitutional and arbitrary; interim relief (I.A. No. 1 of 2015, S.151 CPC) sought cessation of house visits/harassment pending disposal. At the hearing on 04.09.2025 only Sri Sridhar Bhuvanagiri, learned Assistant Government Pleader for Home, appeared for respondents; there was no representation for the petitioner. The AGP placed on record letter dated 22.12.2015 (No.63/Addl.DCP/CCS&E,OWIDD/2015) of the Additional DCP, CCS & EOW, DD, Hyderabad City stating that enquiry revealed neither the petitioner's son nor any person named Mr. Mohammed Jahangir was involved, suspected or required in any case of CCS, DD, Hyderabad, and that no Inspector or staff of CCS had visited her house or harassed/misbehaved with her. Holding that the grievance no longer survived for adjudication, Justice Vakiti Ramakrishna Reddy dismissed the writ petition as infructuous without costs, clarifying that the petitioner remains free, if so advised, to challenge the closure report dated 14.09.2015 under available remedies.
