Raviteja. ….Petitioner And The Superintendent of Police, Mahabubnagar & others. ….Respondents HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.4658 of 2011 ORDER : Heard learned counsel for petitioner and also the learned Government Pleader for Home, appearing for respondents. In this writ petition, the petitioner seeks directions by way of Mandamus, declaring the action of respondents in summoning him to the Police Station regularly and making him to sit for hours together, threatening with dire consequences, and harassing him without there being any crime registered against him, as illegal, arbitrary and in violation of Article 21 of the Constitution of India. It is the case of the petitioner that he is a resident of Badepally village of Jadcherla Mandal in Mahabubnagar District and is a sympathizer of Congress party. It is his case that a crime was registered against some unknown persons in Crime No.321 of 2010 for the offence under Section 436 of IPC, based on a complaint made by one Bukka Venkatesham on 10.11.2010, stating that some unknown offenders have set fire to Congress party office situated at Housing Board colony, Jadcherla. It is the grievance of the petitioner that though he is not an accused in the aforesaid crime and is not involved in the said crime, respondents are harassing him and insisting him to sit in the Police Station for hours together. Based on the written instructions, dated 03.03.2011, it is submitted by the learned Government Pleader for Home, appearing for respondents, that the petitioner is a rowdy-sheeter on the roles of Jadcherla Police Station and there is suspicion over his activities. However, it is stated that the respondents have not interfered with the life and liberty of the petitioner herein, and as of now, there are no clues with regard to the involvement of petitioner in the aforesaid crime. As much as the crime was registered against some unknown persons, and as it is stated that there are no clues regarding the involvement of petitioner in the said crime, and further, as it is stated that there is no interference by the Police with the life and liberty of petitioner, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition, placing such submission on record that there is no interference by the respondents with the life and liberty of petitioner. Subject to the above observations, the writ petition is disposed of. No costs. _____________________ R.SUBHASH REDDY, J 4th March 2011 ajr
