On instructions, the learned Government Pleader for Home has submitted that a case in crime No.38 of 2004 was registered against the petitioner on 12.01.2004 for an offence under Section 324 IPC. Thereafter, another case in crime No.913/2009 was registered against him for the offences under Sections 147, 148, 302, 307, 323, 109 r/w 149 IPC on 12.10.2008. In view of registration of the crimes, a rowdy sheet was opened against him and it is in existence upto 31.12.2009. 3. Heard both sides. 4. May be it is true that a rowdy sheet was opened against the petitioner, but at the same time it is not for the police to direct him to appear before them by calling him frequently without any reason whatsoever. If a rowdy sheet is opened against him, definitely the police may have a close surveillance over his activities, but that does not mean that his personal liberty shall be curtailed. 5. In the light of the above, this writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the respondents not to call the petitioner to the police station, without any valid reason. There shall be no order as to costs. _________________________ GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA, J 10th September, 2009 CBS THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA WRIT PETITION No.19172 of 2009 (Disposed of) 10th September, 2009 CBS
