Counsel for the Petitioner: MR. NIMMAGADDA SATYANARAYANA Counsel for the Respondent No.: GP FOR HOME The Court made the following: O R D E R:- The petitioner asserts that respondent Nos. 2 to 5 opened a rowdy sheet against him alleging that he was involved in several crimes. As respondents continued the rowdy sheet even after his acquittal in the said cases, he filed writ petition in W.P. No.9766 of 2005 seeking a mandamus to declare the action of the respondents in continuing the rowdy sheet against him. This Court, by order dated 14.03.2008, disposed of the writ petition directing the petitioner to make a representation to the 3rd respondent-Asst. Commissioner of Police, for discontinuance of the rowdy sheet, furnishing the judgments of his acquittal in the cases, and on such representation being filed, the 3rd respondent may call for the remarks from the 4th and 5th respondents and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law. Accordingly, the petitioner submitted a representation dated 4.7.2008, but it is his grievance that in spite of the order passed by this Court, respondent Nos.3 to 5 have neither considered his representation nor passed any orders thereon, and instead, are sending constables to his house for his appearance and for being bound over for maintaining peace and good behavior in the ensuing General Elections for both the Assembly and Lok Sabha. When the matter is taken up for hearing, the learned Government Pleader for Home appearing for the respondents produced a letter addressed by the 4th respondent to the Commissioner of Police, Vijayawada, informing him that no cases are registered against the petitioner since five years and there is no need to continue the rowdy sheet and sought permission to close the rowdy sheet opened against the petitioner. In view of the above, no orders need be passed in the writ petition, and the same is accordingly closed. No costs. ______________ N.V.RAMANA, J 8th April, 2009 bcj
