H.No.11-14-236, Road No.12, Haripuri Colony, L.B.Nagar, Hyderabad. ..... PETITIONER AND 1 The State of Andhra Pradesh, Rep by its Secretariat, Home Department, Secrtariat, Hyderabad. 2 The Commissioner of Police Hyderabad City, At; Basheerbagh, Hyderabad. 3 The Deputy Commissioner of Police, Task Force, Begumpet, Hyderabad. 4 The Station House Officer, Mangalhat Police Station, Hyderabad. .....RESPONDENTS Counsel for the Petitioner: MR.ALUGANIRAM MOHAN Counsel for the Respondents: GP FOR HOME The Court made the following : ORDER: This Writ Petition is filed for a writ of Mandamus to declare the action of the respondents, in interfering in peaceful life of the petitioner, as illegal and unconstitutional. The petitioner sought for a consequential direction to the respondents to close the rowdy sheet pending before respondent No.4. At the hearing, learned Assistant Government Pleader for Home, on instructions, submitted that all the criminal cases filed against the petitioner ended in acquittal by the year 1992. If the petitioner is not found indulging in any fresh criminal cases after his acquittal, I find no justification for the respondents to continue the rowdy sheet against him. Since it is pointed out by the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Home that the petitioner has not given a specific representation to close the rowdy sheet, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the Writ Petition, by permitting the petitioner to make a representation to respondent No.3 to close the rowdy sheet, and on receipt of the same, respondent No.3 is directed to pass appropriate orders thereon. If respondent No.3 finds that the petitioner has not indulged in any fresh criminal case, after his acquittal in the Criminal Cases registered against him, respondent No.3 shall close the rowdy sheet with liberty to reopen it, as and when the petitioner indulges in commission of fresh offences. Ordered accordingly. As a sequel to disposal of the Writ Petition, WPMP.No.8493 of 2008 filed by the petitioner for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous. _____________________ (C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J) 1st May, 2008 LUR
