2) It seems there are certain disputes regarding family affairs of the Petitioner with his wife and the 10th Respondent seems to have interfered, which lead to the filing of a complaint before the authorities against the 10th Respondent on 20.09.2023. Resultantly, the Writ Petition filed against the inaction of the Respondents not initiating action pursuant to his complaint.
3) Learned Counsel for the Petitioner brought to the notice of this Court that on 06.08.2025 an “Endorsement” was issued by the Revenue Divisional Officer, Kadapa Sub Division that an enquiry was initiated, however, in view of the pendency of the Writ Petition, the Official Respondents are not proceeding further.
4) A query was raised, by this Court, with regard to maintainability of the Writ Petition, as the same is not a Public Interest Litigation, the learned Counsel made a request that as the authorities have commenced enquiry into the matter pursuant to the complaint, he is not seeking any relief against the 10th Respondent, for the present. Otherwise, prays to direct the authorities concerned to proceed further and conclude such enquiry, which was already initiated as per endorsement dated 06.08.2025.
5) This Court is not inclined to give any positive direction however, it is always open for the Official Respondents to proceed further, in accordance with law, in respect of the complaint received against the 10th Respondent as per the endorsement, dated 06.08.2025.
