The petitioner herein filed this writ petition, inter-alia, seeking writ of mandamus to declare the action of the respondents in opening the rowdy-sheet against him as illegal. Though the petitioner raised several contentions to the effect that he is a Law abiding citizen, however, admittedly, there are three cases pending against him. Further, it is also pointed out that he has already filed a representation on 21.10.2002 before the first respondent herein. In view of the same, I do not find any justification to grant the relief as sought for by the petitioner, more so, in view of the pendency of the criminal cases against him. However, it is open for the petitioner herein to file fresh representation within a period of two weeks before the first respondent herein. On receipt of the same, it shall be considered and disposed of in accordance with law within a period of one month by the first respondent. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of. No costs. ________________________ 20th July, 2004. Cs/skmr To 1. The Commissioner of Police, Vijayawada, Krishna District. 2.
