PETITIONER AND 1 The Sub Inspector of Police, Inthezargunj Police Station, Warangal Town, Warangal District and 3 others. .....RESPONDENTS THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA WRIT PETITION No.18089 of 2009 ORDER: This Writ Petition is filed seeking a Writ of Mandamus declaring the action of the respondents in continuing the rowdy sheet against the petitioner without any periodical review, as illegal and arbitrary and consequently sought for a direction to the respondents to close the rowdy sheet opened against the petitioner. On instructions, the learned Government Pleader for Home submits that the petitioner was involved in three cases i.e., S.C.No.388 of 2001; S.C.No.276 of 2008 and a case in Crime No.137 of 2008 under Section 41 (1) (2) Cr.P.C. on the file of the Mandal Revenue Officer, Warangal and that the petitioner was acquitted in S.C.No.388 of 2001 registered for the offence punishable under Section 307 I.P.C. on 27.08.2001 and also in S.C.No.276 of 2008 registered for the offence punishable under Section 307 I.P.C. on 05.01.2009. He further submits that the police opened a rowdy sheet against the petitioner on 05.08.2007 in order to watch his illegal activities and that the police did not harass the petitioner at any point of time. It is true that the petitioner was involved in three cases and out of the three cases, two cases ended in acquittal. However, there is only one petty case is pending against the petitioner in Crime No.137 of 2008 registered under Section 41 (1) (2) Cr.P.C. on the file of the Mandal Revenue Officer, Warangal and in that case the petitioner was bound over. In that view of the matter, this Court has no hesitation to come to the conclusion that continuance of rowdy sheet against the petitioner is unwarranted. The Writ Petition is accordingly allowed. The rowdy sheet opened against the petitioner by the respondents is hereby closed. No order as to costs. __________________________ (GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA, J) 14-09-2009 Gsn.
