THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.7853 of 2010 Date:26.07.2010 Between: Tekumudi Murthy @ Satyanarayana Murthy. ..... Petitioner AND The Principal Secretary and others. .....Respondents Counsel for the Petitioner: Sri V. Sai Kumar Counsel for Respondents: Assistant Government Pleader for Home The Court made the following: ORDER: In this writ petition the only grievance of the petitioner is that the Police have been preventing him from appearing before the Courts in which the criminal cases are pending against him. At the hearing, learned Assistant Government Pleader for Home, on instructions, submitted that the petitioner is involved in 57 criminal cases, out of which he was convicted in 8 cases and acquitted in 8 cases and the remaining cases are pending. She further stated that a rowdy sheet was opened against the petitioner and that presently the non-bailable warrants issued by the learned III Judicial First Class Magistrate, Kakinada, and the learned Special Judicial First Class Magistrate, Prohibition and Excise, are pending. She also submitted that except dealing with the petitioner in accordance with law, the Police have not been depriving him of his right to defend himself in the pending criminal cases. The abovementioned statement of the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Home is placed on record and the Writ Petition is disposed of with the direction to the Police not to obstruct the petitioner from appearing in the pending criminal cases with a view to defend himself. This order, however, does not prevent the Police from dealing with the petitioner, strictly, in accordance with law in connection with the pending criminal cases. As a sequel to disposal of the writ petition, W.P.M.P.No.10081 of 2010 filed by the petitioner for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous. ________________________ C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J 26th July, 2010 GHN
