THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA Writ Petition No.27986 OF 2009 ORDER: The petitioner states that he was accused of having committed certain offences, on account of which fourteen crimes have been registered against him. During the pendency of the investigation in those cases, a rowdy sheet was opened against him on 22.12.2000. According to him, after investigation into the said crimes, charge sheets were filed and the petitioner faced trial in all those cases and according to him, all the cases ended in acquittal and the competent criminal courts delivered judgments to that effect. Despite the said acquittal, the respondents have not closed the said rowdy sheet opened against him in the year 2000. Hence he approached this court and filed the present Writ Petition. When the matter was listed for admission, this court directed the learned Assistant Government Pleader to get instructions and today when the matter is taken up for hearing the learned Assistant Government Pleader, on instructions, submitted that as on today no cases are pending against the petitioner. In that view of the matter, this court is of the view that the said continuance of the rowdy sheet opened against the petitioner in the year 2000 is nothing but abuse of process. Accordingly this Writ Petition is allowed and the rowdy sheet opened against the petitioner on 22.12.2000 is hereby quashed. No order as to costs. ------------------------- 03.02.2010 kvsn
