PETITIONER AND 1 The Sub-Inspector of Police, nagarampalem (Law & order ) Police Station, Guntur. 2 The Sub-Divisional POlice Officer, Guntur. 3 The Superintendent of Police, Guntur. .....RESPONDENTS Counsel for the Petitioner:MR.E.V.BHAGIRATHA RAO Counsel for the Respondents:AGP FOR HOME The Court made the following : ORDER: In this writ petition, the petitioner sought for a writ of mandamus to declare opening of History Sheet bearing No.265 of 2004 and Rowdy Sheet bearing No.A-35 in Nagarampalem Law and Order Police Station, Guntur as illegal, arbitrary and contrary to Standing Order Nos.734 and 742 of the Andhra Pradesh Police Standing Orders. The petitioner, who figured as accused in as many as 8 criminal cases, filed the present writ petition to direct the respondents to close History and Rowdy Sheets pending against him on the ground that he was acquitted in all criminal cases except one. In the counter-affidavit filed by the Sub-Inspector of Police, Nagarampalem Law and Order Police Station, Guntur District, he enumerated the details of the criminal cases registered against the petitioner. It is stated that the said details clearly show that the petitioner was accused in 8 cases, of which, 4 cases were registered against him for the offence punishable under Section 302 IPC. While S.C.Nos.127 of 2000, 1 and 569 of 2002 and 468 of 2004 ended in the petitioner’s acquittal, Crime Nos.47 of 2006 and 34 of 2008 also ended in his acquittal. C.C.No.499 of 2007 registered for the offences punishable under Sections 417, 448 and 471 IPC of Guntur Rural Police Station and S.C.No.572 of 2008, in which, the petitioner is accused of committing the offences punishable under Sections 120-B, 302, 341 and 201 IPC of Lalapet Law and Order Police Station, are still pending. Having regard to the petitioner’s history, which discloses his habitual nature of committing serious offences, I do not find any reason to accept the plea of the petitioner that continuance of History and Rowdy Sheets against him is contrary to law and the Standing Orders referred to above. For the above-mentioned reasons, the writ petition is dismissed. As a sequel to dismissal of main petition, WPMP.No.2377 of 2009 filed by the petitioner for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous. C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J 17th JUNE, 2009. kvni
