Raja Goud … Petitioner And The Station House Officer Pahadisheeref Police Station, R.R. District and others … Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V. RAMULU WRIT PETITION NO.26785 OF 2008 ORDER: The complaint of the petitioner is that he is being summoned to the Police Station without any lawful reason and Police are interfering with his right to life and liberty. A detailed counter affidavit has been filed by the first respondent wherein it is stated that the petitioner is a resident of Sardharnagar Village of Maheswaram Mandal. There is a land dispute between the petitioner and one Mr. Chintala Mahender Reddy. In this connection, said Mahender Reddy was attacked and killed by the petitioner and his associates on 29.9.2007 at 7.30 p.m., and a complaint was received and a case in Cr. No.125 of 2007 under Section 302 of the Indian Penal Code was registered against the petitioner on the file of Maheswaram Police Station. The petitioner is also doing real estate business in the limits of Maheswaram Police Station. Therefore, it is necessary to watch the movements of the petitioner. Accordingly, a report was submitted to the Deputy Commissioner of Police, L.B. Nagar Zone, for permission to open a rowdy sheet in respect of the petitioner to curtail the unlawful activities of the petitioner and subsequently a rowdy sheet was opened against him and his movements are being watched. Thus, the allegation of the petitioner that he has been receiving calls from the Police Station pressurizing him to come to the Police Station due to which himself and his family members were subjected to severe mental agony which cannot be compensated by any means, is false and baseless. However, except the above murder case, no fresh case is registered or pending against the petitioner. In the interest of public, the rowdy sheet opened against the petitioner is being continued. There are also no merits in the representation dt.25-11-2008 submitted by the petitioner to the Commissioner of Police Cybderabad, seeking grant of Arms Licence for self-protection and there is no life threat to the petitioner from any angle. In view of the averments in the counter affidavit and particularly when the criminal case is pending against the petitioner, it cannot be said that the Police cannot watch the movements of the petitioner. However, the respondent police authorities are directed not to harass the petitioner except calling him in connection with crime booked against him or to be filed against him in future. The Writ Petition is accordingly disposed of. No order as to costs. _______________________ (C.V. RAMULU, J) 06.09.2009. bnr
