At the hearing, Sri Y.V.Ravi Prasad, learned counsel for the petitioners submitted that on the strength of the allegations contained in para 17, this Court issued notices to the respondents. In the said paragraph, it is alleged by the petitioners that on 04.08.2007, respondent No.10 visited the place where the relatives of the deceased student Mr. Niranjan were going on hunger strike, and instructed the Superintendent of Police, West Godavari District, Eluru to register a case under the provisions of the Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989 against the petitioners, Warden and Canteen Owner and arrest them immediately. The learned Assistant Government Pleader for Home stated that the said crime was registered under Section 174 Cr.P.C. and that none of the petitioners is shown as accused. In view of this statement of the learned Assistant Government Pleader, the apprehension of the petitioners, on the basis of which the present writ petition is filed, is allayed and the cause in the writ petition does not exist. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of as infructuous. As a sequel to disposal of main petition as infructuous, WPMP.No.22392 of 2007 filed by the petitioners for interim relief is also disposed of as infructuous.
