Petitioner A n d The Superintendent of Police, Gutur District at Guntur and two others …. Respondent THE HON’BLE MS.JUSTICE G.ROHINI WRIT PETITION NO.1128 OF 2005 ORDER: This writ petition is filed seeking a declaration that the action of the respondents in not closing rowdy sheet No.671 opened on 05-06-1999, on the file of the 3rd respondent-police station, as arbitrary and illegal. The case of the petitioner is that though it is a fact that he was involved in some criminal cases, all of them ended in acquittal and last such case was on 22-10-2001. In the circumstances, the petitioner pleads that the respondents are not justified in continuing the rowdy sheet against him. On behalf of the respondents, a counter-affidavit has been filed in which the fact that no other criminal cases are pending against the petitioner is not disputed. However, it is stated that the rowdy sheet opened against the petitioner is being continued only to watch his movements. It is also stated that if there is no surveillance on his movements, there is every likelihood of the petitioner creating law and order problem. Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case and particularly keeping in view the provisions of Standing Order Nos.735 and 742 of the Andhra Pradesh Police Standing Orders, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition with a direction to the first respondent-Superintendent of Police to make necessary enquiry and to decide the justifiability or otherwise of continuing the rowdy sheet against the petitioner keeping in view that he is not involved in any crime after 2001 and to pass appropriate orders in accordance with law within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of. No costs. _________________ 04-10-2005 Lrkm.
