Venugopala Rao Counsel for the respondents: AGP for Home This Court made the following: THE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No. 11746 of 2009 ORDER:- The plea of the petitioners in this writ petition is that based on a solitary case, namely; Sessions Case No.682 of 2002, rowdy sheets are opened against them. The learned counsel for the petitioners submitted and furnished a copy of the judgment in support of his submission that the said sessions case ended in the petitioners’ acquittal on 30.10.2007 in the Court of VIII Additional District and Sessions Judge (FTC), Guntur. He asserted that the petitioners are not involved in any fresh offence and that no case is pending against them as on today. At the hearing, the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Home, on instructions, submitted that permission was accorded by the SDPO, Eluru Town to close the rowdy sheets in respect of petitioner Nos.1, 2, 3 and 7. She did not place before the Court the information regarding petitioner Nos.4, 5 and 6. In the light of the plea of the petitioners that no criminal case is pending against them after disposal of S.C.No.682 of 2002, I do not find any justification to continue the rowdy sheets against them. Therefore, the respondents are directed to verify the claim of the petitioners that no criminal case is pending against them as on today and that if their claim is correct, rowdy sheets shall be closed against them within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Subject to the above direction, the writ petition is disposed of. As a sequel to disposal of the writ petition, WPMP.No.15115 of 2009 filed by the petitioner for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous. _____________________________ C.V.
