This Writ of Habeas Corpus is initiated at the instance of the petitioner’s telegram, dated 14-10-2008, wherein it is alleged that six persons viz., (1) G. Kollapurt, (2) A.Rajmkant (3) Suresh, (4) G. Shiva, and two minor boys viz., (5) Sai Prasad and (6) Venkati, were illegally detained by the C.C.S. Police, Rajendranagar, on 13-10-2008, that she is apprehending danger to their lives and set them at liberty. 3. A counter aﬃdavit has been ﬁled by the Inspector of Police, Central Crime Station, Rajendra Nagar, Cyberabad, stating that the alleged detenus were called to the Police Station on 14-10-2008 to ascertain as regards their involvement in Crime No.1121 of 2008 for the oﬀence punishable under Section 379 I.P.C., of Rajendranagar Police Station, and after examining them, they were let oﬀ on 14-10-2008 itself. Except examining the alleged detenu on 14-10-2008, the respondent police never, in any manner, illegally detained them. It is speciﬁcally denied that the alleged detenus were not illegally detained by the respondent police and in order to establish the same, the respondent police requested the Tahsildar, Saroornagar, to record the statements of the alleged detenus, who inturn, recorded their statements on 25-10-2008. The statements of the alleged detenus, which were made part of the record, would go to show that the alleged detenus were not illegally detained by the C.C.S. Police, Rajendranagar and they were now moving freely. 4. In view of the facts stated in the counter aﬃdavit, the question of illegal detention does not arise. 5. For the foregoing, there are no merits in the writ petition and the same is liable to be dismissed. 6. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed, at the stage of admission. However, there shall be no order as to costs. _______________________ JUSTICE D.S.R.VARMA _______________________ JUSTICE K.C.BHANU 07-11-2008 Msr. .....
