Her husband Subbaraju had purchased the property to an extent of Ac.0-90 cents in Sy.No.262/7 in her name from P.Chinnabba of Mangalampeta and got registered the same on 09.03.1988 in her name. She thought that in between from 29.01.2009 to 20.02.2009 her elder son by name P.Ravi created forged documents and got changed his name on the said property with the help of P.Munilakshmi, G.Subbaiah and G.Venkatramaiah of Mangalampet, on account of it, she sent a complaint against them through the Hon'ble JFCM Court, Pakala, Chittoor District to Kalluru Police Station. 9.

Babu. She feared about her son would not look after her welfare, as she gave a complaint against her son and A-2 to A-4, who signed on the agreement as witness, and she has been residing with her son since 2011. She did not file any revision petition No.524/2010 before the High Court of Andhra Pradesh. She thought that her brothers filed this petition without contacting her. There is no necessity to take any action in Cr.No.24/2009 of Kalluru Police Station. The property to an extent of Ac.0-90 cents came through Court in O.S.No.50/2009 and now her second son by name P.Chandra has been in peaceful possession and enjoyment over the said property. 10. In the facts and circumstances of this case, the learned Magistrate has got ample power to direct the Inspector of Police to conduct investigation. Therefore, the impugned order does not suffer from any infirmity, and it does not require any interference from this Court. 11. In view of the above, nothing remains in this Revision Case for further adjudication. Therefore, this Criminal Revision Case is liable to be dismissed. 12. In the result, this Criminal Revision Case is dismissed. No order as to costs. As a sequel, interlocutory applications, if any pending, shall stand closed. ________________________ Dr. Y.
