Telangana High Court Justice Lalitha Kanneganti directed Commissioner of Police Karimnagar not to interfere in civil disputes among citizens. A writ petition was filed by P Shiva Kumar, who sought protection from illegal custody by the Inspector of Police, Karimnagar.
According to the petitioner, the police were trying to settle a monetary dispute between the petitioner and others, which was a civil issue and did not require police interference. Maccha Shiva Kumar, ACP, present in court, was instructed not to interfere in any civil disputes.
It is not the duty of the police to intervene in disputes of a civil nature, stated Justice Lalitha. Accordingly, they were instructed to follow the due process of law.
Justice Lalitha Kanneganti also ordered the Director General of Prisons and Correctional Services to consider the premature release of S K Zakaria. The Ministry of Home Affairs rejected Rasheed’s request to prematurely release a prisoner who spent 23 years behind bars, according to a writ petition filed by him.
Zakaria was arrested for murdering a Wakf Board deputy secretary who was on duty. The judge ordered the Director General to reconsider the application and pass appropriate orders.
