On the contrary, in the counter aﬃdavit, ﬁled by the Sub-Inspector of Police, Old Guntur Crime Police Station, Guntur, it is stated that after receiving notice from this Court, investigation was caused and, during the course of investigation, it is revealed that, at no point of time, the alleged detenus were illegally detained by the police and as on today they are moving freely. However, the alleged detenus were called to the police station, on 07.09.2008, in connection with enquiry in Crime No.40 of 2008, for the oﬀence punishable under Section 379 I.P.C. Accordingly, the alleged detenu Nos.1 and 2 appeared before the ﬁrst respondent, on 07.09.2008, and, after due enquiry, they were let oﬀ on the same day afternoon, after recording their statements, inasmuch as, they have not committed any oﬀence, and that, on enquiry, it came to light that the alleged detenu Nos.3 and 4 had been to elsewhere for fishing business. 4. In view of the revelations in the counter-aﬃdavit, we do not ﬁnd any necessity warranting interference of this Court into the matter and hence the writ petition fails and is liable to be dismissed. 4. In the result, the Writ Petition is dismissed, at the stage of admission. No order as to costs. ______________________ JUSTICE D.S.R.VARMA ______________________ JUSTICE K.C.BHANU 25.09.2008 kvsn
