Gopal Reddy, J) Telegram dated 20-01-2009 sent by the petitioner to the Hon’ble the Chief Justice alleging that her husband has been illegally detained by the police and that she apprehends danger to his life has been taken up as a writ petition. In response to notice, the Sub-Inspector of Police, Chilakalapudi Police Station filed an affidavit stating that the husband of the petitioner who is the alleged detenu is arrayed as the accused in Crime No. 17 of 2009 registered on 19-01-2009 for the offences punishable under Sections 366 and 376 IPC of Chilakalapudi Police Station basing on the complaint given by one Kammili Bhagyasri of Ullipalem Village, Bandar Rural Mandal, Krishna District. On registering the crime, the alleged detenu was arrested on 20-01-2009 and was produced before the learned II Additional Judicial First Class Magistrate, Machilipatnam, Krishna District. On such production, the learned Magistrate remanded him to judicial custody and pursuant to the same, he is now lodged at Sub-Jail, Avanigadda, Krishna District. Since the alleged detenu is arrayed as the accused in Crime No. 17 of 2009 and was arrested and produced before the learned Magistrate who ordered his judicial remand, the petitioner cannot complain that he has been illegally detained by the police. Therefore, we see no merit in the telegram. The writ petition is accordingly dismissed. A. GOPAL REDDY, J B. CHANDRA KUMAR, J 11-02-2009 ks
