Heard Sri S.Chakrapani, learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Home for respondents. In his affidavit the petitioner claimed that four criminal cases, namely Crime Nos.1 of 1995, 02 of 1995, 40 of 1998 and 200 of 2000 were registered against him and all those four cases ended in acquittal. He alleged that despite his acquittal and no fresh cases having been registered, respondents 3 and 4 have been harassing him and have not closed the rowdy sheet in spite of his representation. Learned Assistant Government Pleader for Home, at the hearing, placed before me a copy of letter dated 24.3.2008 addressed by the Sub- Inspector of Police, Ponnur to the learned Government Pleader for Home wherein it is mentioned that a rowdy sheet was opened against the petitioner on 13.9.1995 and that all the criminal cases in which the petitioner figured as accused ended in acquittal. He however, denied the allegation that except continuing the rowdy sheet, the police are not calling the petitioner to police station and that if the petitioner makes a representation before the Sub-Divisional Police Officer, Bapatla Division for closing of the rowdy sheet, his request will be considered. At the hearing, the learned counsel for the petitioner admitted that no representation in writing was made by the petitioner to the concerned police officer for closing the rowdy sheet. In the light of the stand taken by the Sub-Inspector of Police, Ponnur Town police station in his letter dated 24.3.2008, the writ petition is disposed of and the petitioner is permitted to make a representation to the Sub-Divisional Police Officer, Bapatla Division for closing the rowdy sheet and the Sub-Divisional Police Officer, Bapatla is directed to take steps for closing the rowdy sheet against the petitioner in view of the fact that no criminal case is pending against the petitioner. The writ petition is accordingly, disposed of.
