IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH, AT HYDERABAD (Special Original Jurisdiction) PRESENT: THE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY MONDAY, THE THIRTY FIRST DAY OF MARCH, TWO THOUSAND EIGHT ONLY WRIT PETITION No.5926 of 2008 Between: Muddana Mallikarjuna Rao. … Petitioner AND The Superintendent of Police, Guntur, Guntur District and three others. … Respondents Counsel for the petitioners: Sri P.Ramakrishna. Counsel for the respondent: Asst. G.P. for Home. This Court made the following: ORDER:- This Writ Petition is filed for a Writ of Mandamus to declare the action of the respondents in not closing History Sheet No.640 dated 13-9-1995, on the file of respondent No.4, against the petitioner, as illegal and arbitrary. In paragraph two of the affidavit filed in support of the Writ Petition, the petitioner gave details of the cases in which he was involved and the result thereof. The statement contained in the said para shows that all the seven cases - in which the petitioner figured as accused, including a petty case - ended in acquittal and at present no criminal case is pending against him. At the hearing, learned Assistant Government Pleader for Home, however, invited my attention to the latest statement contained in para 2 and stated that on many occasions the petitioner was bound over either under Section 107 or 110 Cr.P.C. Having regard to the fact that the major criminal cases against the petitioner ended in acquittal by 13-3-2001 itself, I do not see any justification for the respondents to continue the History Sheet against the petitioner. Respondents 2 to 4 are, therefore, directed to close the History Sheet against the petitioner with liberty to reopen it in the event the petitioner is found involved in fresh criminal case. The Writ Petition is accordingly disposed. ------------------------------------ C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY,J 31-3-2008 MNR
