IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD (Special Original Jurisdiction) PRESENT: THE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY TUESDAY, THE SECOND DAY OF JUNE, TWO THOUSAND NINE ONLY WRIT PETITION No.6448 of 2009 Between: A.Dasarath. … Petitioner. And The Government of Andhra Pradesh, Reptd., by its Principle Secretary (Home Department), Secretariat Buildings, Hyderabad and two others. … Respondents Counsel for the petitioner: Sri K.V.Rajendra Prasad. Counsel for the respondents: AGP for Home. This Court made the following: ORDER:- This Writ Petition is filed for a Writ of Mandamus to declare the action of respondent No.3 in interfering with the life and personal liberty of the petitioner by visiting his house at odd hours and calling him to Police Station, as illegal and arbitrary. For the purpose of disposal of this Writ Petition it is not necessary to record the facts in detail. It will suffice to note that the petitioner, who has got a criminal history, was on the rowdy sheet, which was closed in the year 2001. But, as the petitioner was involved in fresh criminal cases, a new rowdy sheet was opened against him on 24-9-2008 by the Marredpally Police. In the counter-affidavit filed by respondent No.3 it is stated that Crime No.347 of 2007 registered against the petitioner for the offence punishable under Sections 147,148,302 and 120-B read with 149 IPC and Sec.25 (1)(a) of the Arms Act ended in petitioner’s acquittal. Respondent No.3, therefore, stated that the petitioner is neither wanted by his Police Station nor he is interfering with the petitioner’s life and personal liberty. Respondent No.3 further stated that three crimes, viz., Crime Nos.142 of 2008, 158 of 2008 and 12 of 2009, were registered by Marredpally Police Station and, therefore, he has nothing to do with the said crimes. In view of the categorical statement made by respondent No.3 that the petitioner is not wanted by him as of now and that he is not interfering with the petitioner’s life and personal liberty, the Writ Petition is disposed of as infructuous. ------------------------------------ C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY,J Date:02-6-2009 MNR
