Counsel for the Petitioner : TELEGRAM Counsel for the Respondents : ADVOCATE GENERAL The Court made the following : ORDER: (per the Hon’ble the Chief Justice) This is a taken up petition alleging that the petitioner’s husband – Chavali Veeranjaneyulu – was unnecessarily taken into custody on 11-11-1996 at 9.30 a.m. from the house without any warrant or information and got tortured in the police lock up. Ultimately, after notice, the alleged detenu was produced in Court and was no more under detention. Therefore, insofar as the main prayer in the petition is concerned, the Writ Petition stood infructuous. However, the Court tried to find out as to whether the alleged detenu was actually arrested on 11-11-1996. The enquiry was conducted by the II Additional District Munsif, Cuddapah. As per report of II Additional District Munsif, Cuddapah dated 22-2-1997 the alleged detenu was not illegally detained in the police custody from 11-11-1996 to 16-11-1996. We accept the report and thus order closure of the case. The writ petition is closed. _____________________ (DEVINDER GUPTA, CJ) August 16, 2004 ______________ (C.V.
