Gopal Reddy, J) This is a taken up writ petition on the basis of telegram dated 02-12-2008 sent by the petitioner for issuance of a writ of habeas corpus alleging that his son Nadeemkhan was illegally detained from 02-12-2008 by the Ghansi Bazar Police (South Zone) and he apprehends danger to his life. On issuing notice, the Inspector of Police, Charminar Police Station and Incharge Station House Officer, Women Police Station, South Zone filed an affidavit stating that on the complaint lodged by the wife of the alleged detenue, a case in Crime No.225 of 2008 for the offence under Section 406 read with 34 IPC of Women Police Station, South Zone, Hyderabad was registered on 22-11-2008 and the Investigating Officer, Women Police Station, South Zone affected the arrest of the alleged detenue on 02-12-2008 by following due procedure and subsequently, he was produced before the learned XIII Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, Hyderabad who by an order dated 03-12-2008 remanded him to judicial custody. In pursuance of the same, the alleged detenue was initially lodged at Central Prison, Chenchalguda and subsequently, he was enlarged on bail by the learned Magistrate on 04-12-2008. Once crime is registered against the alleged detenue who is arrayed as A-1 and the Investigating Officer arrested him and obtained lawful order for judicial remand, we see no merit in the allegation made in the telegram that the petitioner’s son was illegally detained by the police. The writ petition is accordingly dismissed. A.GOPAL REDDY, J R. KANTHA RAO, J 22-12-2008 ks
