Third respondent filed a counter affidavit stating that the alleged detenu was arrested by the police of Malakpet Police Station, East Zone on 6.7.2010 in connection with Crime No.246 of 2010 registered for the offences punishable under Sections 382 and 354 I.P.C., that he was produced before VII Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, Nampally, Hyderabad, and on such production he was remanded to judicial custody and accordingly he is lodged at Central Prison, Cherlapally. It is specifically stated that the alleged detenu was never taken into custody on 23.6.2010 as alleged in the writ petition. Further, it is disclosed that as many as 12 cases are pending against the alleged detenu at various police stations in Hyderabad. When the alleged detenu was produced before VII Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, Nampally, Hyderabad, he has not complained of any illegal detention by the police. Further he was remanded to judicial custody by obtaining lawful orders from the Magistrate in connection with Crime No.246 of 2010. Therefore, we do not see any merit in the contention of the learned counsel for the petitioner that the alleged detenu has been illegally detained by the police. The writ petition fails and the same is accordingly dismissed. No order as to costs. ________________ A. GOPAL REDDY, J. __________________ JULY 12, 2010 K.C. BHANU, J. Tsr.
