THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.2909 of 2010 ORDER: The petitioner figured as an accused in S.C.No.301 of 2007 on the file of the VI Additional District and Sessions Judge (Fast Track Court), Krishna at Machilipatnam. Through its judgment, dated 30.06.2009, the trial Court acquitted the petitioner. It is represented that no case is pending against the petitioner. The Station House Officer, Chilakalapudi Police Station, respondent No.3 herein, opened a suspect sheet against the petitioner and forwarded the same to the Station House Officer, Pamuru Police Station, respondent No.2 herein. The petitioner submits that on account of the suspect sheet, he is being harassed and that the very opening of the suspect sheet is untenable in law. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Home. Except that the petitioner figured as an accused in S.C.No.301 of 2007, he was not impleaded in any other case, much less any case is pending. The opening of suspect sheet in such circumstances would certainly affect the freedom and dignity of the petitioner. It goes without saying that if the petitioner resorts to any criminal activity, cases can certainly be filed against him and if the conduct persists, the suspect sheet can also be opened. Once it emerges that the petitioner is not facing the trial in any case, the suspect sheet cannot be continued. Hence, the writ petition is allowed and the respondents are directed to close the suspect sheet opened against the petitioner. There shall be no order as to costs. ______________________ L.NARASIMHA REDDY,J Dt:22.02.2010. kdl
