HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE A. GOPAL REDDY AND HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NOOTY RAMAMOHANA RAO Taken up Writ Petition No. 28515 of 2007 22.01.2008 Between: K. Krishnaveni … Petitioner AND The Station House Officer, Prothipadu Police Station, East Godavari District & another … Respondents O R D E R: (per the Hon’ble Sri Justice A. Gopal Reddy) Telegram dated 26.12.2007 sent by the petitioner to the Hon’ble the Chief Justice with a complaint that her husband viz. Peddireddi Sattibabu, resident of Rachapalli Village, Prathipadu Mandal, East Godavari District was taken away by Prathipadu police on 23.12.2007, without he being involved in any case, has been taken up as a writ petition. In response to the notice sent by this Court on 04.01.2008, the Sub-Inspector of Police, Prathipadu Police Station has filed the counter-affidavit, wherein he has denied the allegation of illegal detention of the alleged detenu. He further stated that on his requisition, the Mandal Executive Magistrate, Prathipadu recorded the statement of the alleged detenu on 14.01.2008, a perusal of which discloses that he (the alleged detenu) along with his friends, on their own, left the house and returned to the village on that day and that he was never detained by the police. Since the averments made in the counter-affidavit falsify the illegal detention of the alleged detenu, we are of the opinion that the cause in the writ petition does not survive for adjudication and the same is accordingly dismissed.
