Gopal Reddy) This writ petition is taken up on the basis of the telegram dated 12.03.2009 sent by the petitioner to the Hon’ble the Chief Justice alleging that her husband has been illegally detained by the Market Police Station, Secunderabad from 11.03.2009 and apprehending danger to his life. In response to the notice, the Inspector of Police, Market Police Station, Secunderabad, the first respondent herein filed counter affidavit stating that the alleged detenu was arrayed an accused No.5 in Crime No.32 of 2009 for the offences punishable under Sections 366 and 376 IPC r/w Section 109 IPC. Initially the said crime was registered on 19.02.2009 under the head ‘Girl Missing’. However, after the missing girl was traced the section of law was altered from ‘Girl Missing’ to one under Sections 366 and 376 r/w Section 109 IPC on 11.03.2009. In connection with the above crime the police arrested the alleged detenu on 13.03.2009 and on the same day produced him before the X Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, Secunderabad for his remand. On such production, the learned Magistrate remanded the alleged detenu to judicial custody. Pursuant remand order the alleged detenu was lodged at Central Prison, Chnchalguda, Hyderabad. From the above facts, it is clear that the telegram was sent by the petitioner only to see that the petitioner will not be arrested in connection with the crime registered against him for the offences as referred to above. In view of the same we see no merit in the telegram. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is dismissed. ___________________ (A.GOPAL REDDY, J.) _____________ (K.C. BHANU, J.) 1st April, 2009 Js.
