IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD THURSDAY, THE ELEVENTH DAY OF AUGUST TWO THOUSAND AND ELEVEN PRESENT THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE RAMESH RANGANATHAN WRIT PETITION No.22778 OF 2011 Between: Gundala Mahesh ..... PETITIONER AND Government of Andhra Pradesh and others ....RESPONDENTS The Court made the following: THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE RAMESH RANGANATHAN WRIT PETITION No.22778 OF 2011 ORDER: The petitioner claims that he has not committed any crime, and there is no specific proof against him in any crime. The relief sought for by him, in this Writ Petition, is to declare the action of the respondents, in proceeding to impose on him the provisions of preventive detention laws, as arbitrary and illegal. Reliance is placed upon News Paper clippings of various Telugu News Papers in this regard. Sri G. Jagadeeswar, learned counsel for the petitioner, states that the action of the respondents, in contemplating to detain the petitioner preventively, is illegal. I see no merit in the said submission. It is not even known whether or not the petitioner would be preventively detained under any of the preventive detention laws. In case he is so detained it is always open to him to question such detention in appropriate proceedings. I see no reason to presume that the petitioner would be detained, and injunct the respondents from taking action, in accordance with law, if they so choose. The Writ Petition is wholly misconceived and is, accordingly, dismissed. However, in the circumstances, without costs. _____________________________ RAMESH RANGANATHAN, J August 11, 2011 MD THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE RAMESH RANGANATHAN WRIT PETITION No.22778 OF 2011 August 11, 2011 MD
