Counsel for the Petitioner:PETITION Counsel for the Respondents.: GP FOR HOME The Court made the following : ORAL ORDER: (per the Hon’ble Sri Bilal Nazki, ACJ) The allegations of the petitioner in this writ petition were that he was frequently called by the police and detained in the police station and that he was specifically asked to appear on 5th day of every month. He stated that he was accused in two cases in which he was acquitted. In the counter affidavit, it has been denied that the petitioner has been asked to appear before the police on 5th of every month. But it is stated that petitioner was a rowdy sheeter. It is hard to believe that anybody would approach this Court without any reason. But the affidavit has been sworn to by the Inspector of Police that the petitioner was never called to the police station. In this view of the matter, we dispose of this writ petition with the direction that without authority of law, the petitioner would never be called to the police station and if the petitioner is again called to the police station, without any authority of law, he can approach this Court again. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of. No costs. _________________ BILAL NAZKI, ACJ DATE: 29th June, 2005 ________________ G.CHANDRAIAH ,J Pnb To 1 The Station House Officer, Rayadurg Police Station, 2 The Station House Officer, Commissioner's Task Force, Amberpet, Hyderabad. 3 The Superintendent of Police, Ranga Reddy District at Hyderabad, 4 The Commissioner of Police, Twin Cities, Hyderabad. 5 Two C.Cs. to the G.P. for Home, High Court Buildings, Hyderabad.
