2. None appeared on behalf of the petitioner

3.1. Mr. M. Srinivas, learned Assistant Government Pleader for Home, appearing on behalf of respondent Nos.1 and 2, submits that the respondents/police authorities have never restrained or detained the petitioner, as alleged in the writ petition. He submits that the interaction between the petitioner and the police authorities occurred only connection with the investigation of Crime No.B24 of 2016, registered on the report of respondent No.4, and Crime No.56 of 2017, registered on the report of the petitioner herself. Hence, the allegations of unlawful restraint or harassment are baseless and unfounded

3.2. The learned Government Pleader further submits that in Crime No.B24 of 2016, which was registered on the complaint of respondent No. 4, a charge sheet was filed and the case was numbered as C.C No.416 of 2017 on the file of the learned X Additional Metropolitan Magistrate, Kukatpally. After a full-fledged trial, the accused were acquitted by judgment dated 09.05.2025. ln contrast, Crime No.56 of 2017, registered on the report of the petitioner, was referred as "False" on

2802.2017 before the same Court. Thus, both proceedings have been concluded, and no subsisting dispute remains. lt is, therefore, contended that nothing survives for adjudlcation in this writ petition.

4. I have perused the material available on record

5. The grievance of the petitioner, as set forth in the writ petition, is that the respondents/police authorities have highhandedly restrained her, despite an order of injunction granted in her favour in O.S. No.512 of 2016, on the file of the learned lX Junior Civil Judge, Kukatpally at h ) Miyapur, and that they have also illegally detained and threatened her at the instance of the unofficial respondents. The explanation offered by the ( I I learned Assistant Government Pleader for Home, however, demonstrates that there were criminal proceedings initiated both by and against the petitioner, and that the same have been finally concluded, one ending in acquittal and the other being referred as false. This indicates that the law has taken its course and that no pending proceedings exist warranting further interference by this Court.

6. Nonetheless, since the petitroner has alleged apprehension of future interference by the police authorities with her possession of the petition schedule property or personal liberty, this Court deems it I appropriate to issue a precautionary direction to safeguard her laMul rights

7. Accordingly, the respondents/police authorities are hereby directed to refrain from restraining or interfering with the petitioner's possession over the schedule property or her personal life and liberty, except in strict conformity with law and by following due procedure. lt is, however, made clear that this order shall not preclude the respondents/police from taking lawful action in accordance with law.
