This matter was adjourned twice so as to obtain instructions by the learned Government Pleader for Home. The learned Government Pleader for Home addressed a letter to the respondents, but they did not respond and consequently this court directed the ﬁrst respondent-Station House Oﬃcer, Zaheerabad, Medak District, to appear before this court today and accordingly, he is present and produced the alleged detenu, who stated that he went out along with his friends. Since, the ﬁrst respondent did not respond to the letter addressed by the learned Government Pleader for Home, the ﬁrst respondent was directed to ﬁle a detailed aﬃdavit by tendering unconditional apology and ensure prompt action in future and accordingly, he filed the same. 3. As the ﬁrst respondent is present before the court pursuant to the direction and ﬁled his aﬃdavit extending unconditional apology and produced the alleged detenu, who stated that he went out along with his friends, the question of illegal detention by the Police does not arise and the writ petition is liable to be closed. 4. Accordingly, the writ petition is closed. _______________________ GHULAM MOHAMMED,J ___________________ G.BHAVANI PRASAD,J 15-10-2008 Stp
