Pursuant to the remand orders, the alleged detenu is presently lodged in Central Prison, Cherlapally, Rangareddy District. It is further stated that the alleged detenu is a habitual offender involved in the following crimes i) Cr. No.201/2010 of PS Nallakunta for the offence under Sec.380 IPC ii) Cr. No.543/2010 of PS Sanathnagar for the offence under Secs. 379 and 380 IPC iii) Cr. No.608/2010 of PS Sanathnagar for the offence under Secs. 379 and 380 IPC iv) Cr.

No.580/2010 of PS Saifabad for the offence under Secs. 457 and 380 IPC As the alleged detenu is already produced before the jurisdictional Magistrate, who remanded him to judicial custody, he cannot be said to be illegally detained by the respondents. In view of these facts, we do not see any merit warranting issuance of writ of habeas corpus, as sought for by the petitioner. Consequently the writ petition is dismissed at the admission stage. No order as to costs. ________________ Justice V.Eswaraiah ___________________________ Justice Samudrala Govindarajulu November 8, 2010 MAS
