At the hearing, there is no representation for the petitioner. Heard learned Assistant Government Pleader for Home. A perusal of the record shows that the petitioner, who was involved in three criminal cases registered in the years 1992, 1994 and 2000, was acquitted and at present, there is no criminal case pending against him. Learned Assistant Government Pleader for Home, on instructions, confirmed the above-mentioned facts. In view of the same, I feel that the petitioner has a legitimate grievance against continuing the rowdy sheet opened against him as far back as in the year 1994. The writ petition is, therefore, disposed of. The respondents are directed to close the rowdy sheet opened vide sheet No. 600 dated 12.09.1994 of Repalle Police Station and transferred to Ponnur Police Station, Guntur District with liberty to open a fresh rowdy sheet if the petitioner indulges in any crime in future. As a sequel to disposal of the writ petition, W.P.M.P.No. 6643 of 2008 filed by the petitioner for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous. (C.V. NAGARJUNA REDDY, J) 24th March, 2008 ksld
