In pursuance of the notice, the S.I of Police, Ponnur Police Station ﬁled a detailed counter stating that in connection with the crime Nos. 9/2008 and 14/2008, the police visited the house of the detenu. As the detenu was not available in the house, the ﬁrst respondent asked the police to send the detenu to the ﬁrst respondent-S.H.O, Ponnur, Guntur District, for the purpose of making an enquiry relating to the above mentioned crime numbers and that they have not wrongfully conﬁned the detenu in the Police Station. The statement of the detenu recorded by the Tahsildar-cum-Mandal Executive Magistrate, Chebrolu, would clearly go to show that the alleged detenu was never in any manner illegally detained by the ﬁrst respondent. The statement recorded by Tahsildar-cum-Mandal Executive Magistrate, Chebrolu, is made part of the record. In view of the fact that the detenu is moving freely, the cause in this Writ Petition does not survive. Hence, the Writ Petition is dismissed. ____________________ JUSTICE D.S.R.VARMA ____________________ 24th September 2008 JUSTICE K.C.BHANU KA ....
