The Hon’ble Sri Justice C.V.Nagarjuna Reddy Writ Petition No.6451 of 2010 Dated 22nd March, 2010 Between: B.Gopi …Petitioner And 1.The Superintendent of Police, Guntur, Guntur District and 2 others. …Respondents Counsel for the Petitioner: Mr.M.Narasimhulu Parise Counsel for the Respondents: AGP for Home The Court made the following: This Court made the following: Order:- This Writ Petition is filed for a Mandamus to declare the action of the respondents, in interfering with the day-to-day activities of the petitioner by calling him to the Police Station and making him sit there, as illegal, arbitrary and violative of Article 21 of the Constitution of India. I have heard the learned Counsel for the petitioner and the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Home representing the respondents. The petitioner’s mother is stated to be an accused in Crime No.132 of 2008 of respondent No.3-Police Station, registered for the offences punishable under Sections 366 and 342 of the Indian Penal Code and Sections 3, 4 and 5 of the Immoral Traffic (Prevention) Act. The petitioner alleged that while he is not an accused either in that case or in any other case, respondent Nos.2 and 3 have been harassing him by summoning him to the Police Station and making him sit there, apart from torturing him. If the facts stated by the petitioner are correct, I do not find any justification for respondent Nos.2 and 3 to interfere with the life and personal liberty of the petitioner. Unless respondent Nos.2 and 3 are satisfied that the petitioner has committed an offence and a crime is registered therefor against him, the petitioner’s right to personal liberty cannot be violated. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is disposed of with the direction to respondent Nos.2 and 3 to refrain from interfering with the life and personal liberty of the petitioner except in accordance with law. As a sequel to disposal of the Writ Petition, WPMP.No.8314 of 2010, filed by the petitioner for interim relief, is disposed of as infructuous. --------------------------------- C.V.Nagarjuna Reddy, J Date: 22-3-2010 lur
