HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V. RAMULU W.P.No. 15252 of 2008 Date: 26-10-2010 Between: Mohd. Abdul Basith ……….. Petitioner and The Commissioner of Police, Basheerbagh, Hyderabad and two others. ………. Respondents HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V. RAMULU W.P.No. 15252 of 2008 ORDER: This writ petition is filed seeking a direction to the respondents 1 to 3 to remove and close the rowdy sheet purported to have been opened against the petitioner in the year 2003 on the file of the Mirchowk Police Station, Hyderabad and to direct respondent No.3 not to call the petitioner to the police station frequently without following due process of law. There is no necessity of going into all the details. In the counter affidavit as well as additional counter affidavit filed by the respondents, it is stated that as of today as many as four criminal cases are pending trial against the petitioner. Absolutely it is false to say that the petitioner was detained in the police station under the grab of surveillance, nor his personal liberty was infringed. The staff of Mirchowk Police Station have never visited the house of the petitioner either during day time or during night hours and the elders of the petitioner were never subjected to humiliation and disrespect. As of today, in view of the pendency of cases against the petitioner, the case of the petitioner for closing the rowdy sheet opened against him cannot be considered. However, he may file an application after disposal of the criminal cases, which are pending trial as to day. Under these circumstances, the petitioner is directed to make an application to the respondents, after disposal of the criminal cases pending against him as of today, and on filing such application, the respondents are directed consider the same, on its own merits, for closing the rowdy sheet opened against the petitioner in the Mirchowk Police Station. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. ____________ C.V. RAMULU, J Date: 26-10-2010 YCR
