The 3rd respondent filed a counter stating that the alleged detenus are accused Nos.1 to 4 respectively, in crime No.695 of 2010 registered for the offence punishable under Section 8(c) r/w 20(b)(ii) of Narcotic drugs and Psychotropic Substance (NDPS) Act, 1985 of Saroornagar Police Station, Hyderbad on 25.06.2010. The alleged detenus were arrested on 25.10.2010 and were found in possession of Ganja. They were produced before III Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, Hyderabad on 26.06.2010. On such production they were remanded to judicial custody. Pursuant to the remand order the alleged detenus were lodged at Central Prison, Chenchelguda, Hyderabad. Since the alleged detenus were detained in central prison after obtaining lawful orders and when they were produced before the Magistrate, they have not complained about the illegal detention prior to the date of their arrest as alleged in the writ petition, we see no merit in the contention advanced by the learned counsel for the petitioners that the alleged detenus have been detained illegally. The writ petition is accordingly dismissed. No order as to costs. _______________ A.GOPAL REDDY, J ___________ K.C.BHANU, J 30th June 2010 lmv
