Gopal Reddy, J) This is a taken up writ petition on the basis of telegram dated 03-12-2008 sent by the petitioner for issuance of a writ of habeas corpus alleging that her son Bablu was illegally detained since seven days by the police of LB Nagar Police station without producing him before the Court and that she apprehends danger to his life. In response to the notice, the Inspector of Police, LB Nagar Police Station, the 1st respondent herein filed an affidavit stating that on the complaint lodged by one Smt. Shaik Shahanaz of Saroornagar, a case in Crime No. 1177 of 2008 for the offences under Sections 366, 267, 372, 373 and 376 IPC and Sections 4, 5 and 6 of Immoral Traffic (Prevention) Act, 1956 was registered on 26-11-2008 and in connection with the said crime, the alleged detenue was arrested on 05-12-2008 and on the same day, he was produced before the learned II Additional Metropolitan Magistrate, Cyberabad, who remanded him to judicial custody. Pursuant to the order passed by the learned Magistrate, the alleged detenue was lodged at Central Prison, Cherlapally and the above telegram was sent by the petitioner with a malafide intention. Since the alleged detenue was lodged in Central Prison, Cherlapally pursuant to the remand order passed by the learned Magistrate, the petitioner cannot complain that his son was illegally detained by the police and, therefore, the allegations in the telegram appear to be incorrect. The writ petition is accordingly dismissed. A.GOPAL REDDY, J R. KANTHA RAO, J 22-12-2008 ks
