THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA Writ Petition No.7416 OF 2009 ORDER: 1 Because of the involvement of the petitioner in various crimes, a rowdy sheet was opened against the petitioner on 24.04.1998 and as all the cases registered against him ended in acquittal and the said rowdy sheet is continued even after a period of 11 years, the petitioner approached this court and filed the present Writ Petition. 2 A detailed counter affidavit is filed wherein it is stated that the petitioner was accused in Cr.No.130 of 1990 registered by the Ibrahim Police, but, however that case ended in acquittal. Similarly another case in Cr.No.292 of 1990 was registered against the petitioner and that case also ended in acquittal. Thus in the counter it is stated that originally there were five cases against the petitioner and all the cases ended in acquittal. 3 When once it is admitted by the respondents that the cases registered against the petitioner ended in acquittal, it is not known as to why they are continuing the rowdy sheet against the petitioner. May be in the year 1990 and subsequently when cases were pending, the rowdy sheet was opened against the petitioner and continued for a certain period. But it does not mean that the said rowdy sheet shall be continued forever. 4 As all the cases registered against the petitioner ended in acquittal and as the respondents have showed no subsequent crimes, this court is of the view that the said continuation of the rowdy sheet, which was opened in the year 1990, is liable to be quashed. 5 Accordingly, the Writ Petition is allowed, the rowdy sheet opened against the petitioner in the year 1990 by Police Ibrahimpatnam Police station is hereby quashed.
