HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE VILAS V. AFZULPURKAR WRIT PETITION No.32211 of 2011 O R D E R: Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Home, appearing for the respondents. The petitioner has approached this Court aggrieved by the continuation of rowdy sheet against him. It is the specific case of the petitioner that he is not a habitual offender and the rowdy sheet was opened merely on the basis of Crime No.42 of 2005 and later C.C.No.116 of 2005. Counter affidavit is now filed by the respondents confirming that though the petitioner was involved in Crime No.42 of 2005, which later ended in conviction in C.C.No.116 of 2005 on the file of III Additional Munsiff Magistrate, Kakinada, East Godavari District, dated 21.02.2007, and thereafter, no cases are pending against the petitioner. The rowdy sheet, which was opened on 27.03.2005 is therefore continued. It is evident from the counter affidavit that even according to the respondents, the petitioner is not a habitual offender and as such continuation of rowdy sheet against him right from 2005 without any review is clearly unjustified. The facts of the case, further show that the conviction referred to in Crime No.42 of 2005 (C.C.No.116 of 2005 referred to above) is only with regard to imposing of fine of Rs.600/- and as such even from that point of view continuation of rowdy sheet against the petitioner is required to reviewed in terms of Standing Order Nos.601 and 602 of the A.P. Police Manual. The representations against the said rowdy sheet submitted by the petitioner earlier were not properly considered. Hence, the writ petition is disposed of permitting the petitioner to make a fresh representation to the respondents against continuation the said rowdy sheet, which shall be considered and disposed of by the respondents expeditiously preferably within a period of two weeks from the date of receipt of such representation. ____________________________ VILAS V.
