This Writ of Habeas Corpus is filed by the petitioner seeking to produce his son viz., Dr. N.Venkateshwarlu, who was illegally detained by respondent Nos.2 to 4, and set him at liberty, forthwith. 3. It is the contention of the learned counsel for the petitioner that the alleged detenu was subjected to third degree methods and was beaten black and blue while he was in police custody. However, he was produced before the Magistrate concerned, who remanded him to judicial custody, and subsequently enlarged on bail. 4. A counter affidavit has been filed by the Station House Officer, Palakurthy Police Station, Warangal District, the 2nd respondent herein, stating inter alia that the alleged detenu was never subjected to third degree methods nor there was any kind of torture by the respondent-police against the alleged detenu. It is further stated that when the alleged detenu was produced before the Magistrate concerned, he did not make any complaint to the learned Magistrate about the alleged torture against him at the hands of police. 5. At this stage, we cannot go into all those factual aspects nor any positive proof is forthcoming as regards the alleged torture by the respondent police against the alleged detenu. 6. Having regard to the facts stated in the counter affidavit, we see no grounds to interfere in the matter, at this stage. 7. Accordingly, the writ petition is closed, at the stage of admission. There shall be no order as to costs. 8. It is needless to mention that this Court can only hope and trust that no detenu would be subjected to any kind of mental or physical torture by the police during the course of interrogation. ________________________ JUSTICE D.S.R.VARMA _________________________ JUSTICE R.KANTHA RAO 21.10.2009 Msr THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE D.S.R.VARMA AND THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R.KANTHA RAO WRIT PETITION No.20412 of 2009 21.10.2009 (Msr)
