HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.27574 of 2008 Date : 21.09.2011 Between : Yerikala Ramanjineyulu @ Ramanji. …..Petitioner And The Superintendent of Police, Anantapur & others. …..Respondents HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.27574 of 2008 ORDER : In this writ petition, the petitioner seeks directions by way of Mandamus, directing the respondents not to interfere with his life and liberty in the absence of any crime pending investigation against him. It is the case of the petitioner that he is a permanent resident of Hindupur and he runs an Auto on hire basis. It is alleged that though his brother-in-law by name Yerikala Durga Prasad was involved in some criminal cases, petitioner was also falsely implicated in C.C.No.78 of 2007 and he was convicted and sentenced to undergo rigorous imprisonment for one year with fine of Rs.10,000/-, against which, he preferred an appeal in Criminal Appeal No.112 of 2008. In this writ petition, it is the grievance of the petitioner that though he is not involved in any further offences, he is being called to the Police Station and is being detained therein for days together, as such, he seeks directions against the respondents not to interfere with his life and liberty. Separate counter affidavits are filed on behalf of respondents 2, 3 and 6. In the counter affidavits, the respondents have categorically denied taking the petitioner forcibly to the Police Station or detaining him in the Police Station as alleged by him. In view of the specific denial of respondents, which is not controverted by filing any reply affidavit, and in the absence of any material to show that the petitioner is illegally detained, no direction, as prayed for in this writ petition, can be granted. For the aforesaid reasons, the writ petition is devoid of merit and is accordingly dismissed. No costs. ______________________ R. SUBHASH REDDY, J 21st September 2011 ajr
