Eswaraiah) This writ petition is filed by the wife of the alleged detenue alleging that her husband was illegally detained by the respondents 3 and 4 – Station House Officer and Circle Inspector of Police of Central Crime Station, Hyderabad, though he is not an accused in any of the crime. It is the case of the petitioner that on 19.3.2011 her husband was detained illegally by the Police officials of the Central Crime Station (CCS), Hyderabad, and when the petitioner and their relatives went to CCS, Hyderabad, they were informed that the petitioner’s husband was arrested in connection with a complaint lodged by C. Satyanarayana, C. Eshwar, C Srinivas and C. Rajeshwar, who are nephews of the alleged detenu. The petitioner was further informed that the said four persons are involved in a multi level marketing business and collected huge sums of money from customers and that a part of such money was kept with the husband of the petitioner. It is the further case of the petitioner that the nephews of her husband have collected money even from her husband and also from their relatives and the petitioner’s husband is nothing to do with the business carried on by his nephews and therefore the detention of her husband is illegal and violative of Article 21 of the Constitution of India. Learned Assistant Government Pleader, attached to the office of the learned Advocate General, submitted that the matter was investigated by the Police and a case in Crime No.118 of 2010, on the file of the Central Crime Station, Hyderabad Police Station, was registered, wherein the petitioner’s husband – Katigar Anandraj, s/o. late K. Ramulu, was shown as accused No.5, that he was arrested on 22.3.2011 and produced before the concerned Court, and accordingly he was remanded to judicial custody. In view of the above submission made by the learned Assistant Government Pleader that the petitioner’s husband was shown as accused in the above said Crime and he was arrested and produced before the concerned Court, it cannot be that he is illegal custody. The Writ Petition is accordingly dismissed. No costs. VILAS V. AFZULPURKAR, J V. ESWARAIAH, J 25-3-2011 bnr
