JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No. 14110 of 2009 ORDER:- This writ petition is filed for a Mandamus to declare the action of the respondents in opening and continuing rowdy sheet against the petitioner, as illegal and unconstitutional. In his affidavit, the petitioner averred that he was falsely implicated in a criminal case registered for the offence under Sections 302 read with 34 IPC and that the said case, which was taken on file by the Sessions Court as S.C. No.215 of 2006, ended in his acquittal vide judgment dated 05.08.2008 of the I Additional Metropolitan Sessions Judge, Hyderabad. He further averred that criminal appeal No.171 of 2009 filed against the said judgment was dismissed at the admission stage by a Division Bench of this Court vide judgment dated 16.02.2009 and that no case has been pending against him at present. The learned Assistant Government Pleader for Home, on instructions, submitted that the above facts are correct. Inasmuch as the only case, in which the petitioner was involved, ended in his acquittal and that no case is pending against him, I do not find any justification to continue the rowdy sheet against him. The writ petition is accordingly allowed. Respondent Nos.2 and 3 are directed to close the rowdy sheet against the petitioner forthwith. As a sequel to disposal of the writ petition in the manner indicated above, WPMP.Nos.18477 and 18478 are disposed of as infructuous. _____________________________ C.V.
