RESPONDENT'S EXHIBIBITS :NIL //True copy// PA to Judge ANTONY DOMINIC, J ----------------------------------------- W.P(C) No. 25977 of 2011 ------------------------------------------ Dated this the 29th day of September , 2011. JUDGMENT The prayer sought in the writ petition reads as under: “I) To issue a writ of mandamus or any appropriate writ, order, or direction directing the second respondent to remove the photograph of the petitioner from the notice board of Gandhinagar police station house. II) To issue such other reliefs as this Hon'ble court deems just and equitable in the circumstances of the case”. In the petition it is seen that there are criminal charges against the petitioner and he was also under Preventive detention under the Kerala Anti-Social Activities (prevention) Act, 2007. It is stated that in all the charges except one, the petitioner was acquitted. Therefore he says that the photographs kept in the notice board of the Gandhinagar police station is liable to be removed. First of all the petitioner is not a person with clean track record. In such cases, for the purpose of his own, if the 2nd respondent has W.P(C) No. 25977 of 2011 2 kept the photograph of such persons in the notice board in the police station, there is nothing illegal in it, which warrants interference by this Court. Writ petition is dismissed. Sd/- ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE. Rkc //True copy// PA to Judge
