Ram Babu ..... PETITIONER(S) AND The Commissioner of Police, Vijayawada and others. .....RESPONDENT(S) THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA WRIT PETITION NO : 18529 of 2009 ORDER : According to the petitioner, when he was implicated in a false case, the respondents opened a rowdy sheet against him. Later, he was acquitted by the competent Criminal Court, but, however, as the respondents did not close the rowdy sheet, he filed a writ petition in W.P.No.3823 of 2004 challenging the action of the respondents, and this Hon’ble Court disposed of the writ petition directing the petitioner to make a fresh representation and on such representation being made, the respondents shall consider the same within a period of two weeks. Accordingly, he submitted a representation requesting the respondents to consider his case pursuant to the orders of the Hon’ble High Court. But the respondents are extending the rowdy sheet for every year without considering his representation, and further, they are frequently summoning him to the police station and detaining him hours together. Aggrieved by the action of the respondents, the petitioner approached this Court and filed the present writ petition. 2. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Home and perused the record. 3. On instructions, the learned Government Pleader for Home submitted that except this case, there are no other cases pending against the petitioner and he also admitted the fact that the petitioner was acquitted of the charges by the competent Criminal Court. 4. In the light of the acquittal and as there are no cases pending against the petitioner, this Court is of the view that the continuation of the rowdy sheet is nothing but an abuse of process of law. 5. Accordingly, the writ petition is allowed and the rowdy sheet opened against the petitioner, on the file of Law and Order, Ibrahimpatnam police station, Krishna District, is hereby quashed. There shall be no order as to costs. __________________ 27th January, 2010 kvr
