THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA Writ Petition No.24946 OF 2009 ORDER: 1 The respondent authorities have opened a rowdy sheet against the petitioner in the year 2000 on account of his involvement in criminal matters. According to the petitioner though he was acquitted in all the cases the respondent authorities are still maintaining the said rowdy sheet and hence he approached this court and filed the present Writ Petition. 2 On instructions, the learned Assistant Government Pleader submitted that it is a fact that several crimes have been registered against the petitioner, but, however, all the matters ended either in dropping the proceedings or in acquittal by competent criminal courts and as per the said instructions, as on date no criminal cases are pending against the petitioner. 3 In the light of the said written instructions received by the learned Assistant Government Pleader, this court is of the view that the said continuance of rowdy sheet is nothing but an abuse of process of law and accordingly this Writ Petition is allowed and the rowdy sheet opened against the petitioner in the year 2000 is hereby quashed. No costs. ------------------- 10.12.2009 kvsn
