In response to the notices issued by this court, the Sub-Inspector of Police, Gooty, filed counter affidavit, wherein it is mentioned that there were some civil disputes between the alleged missing person, Krishna and some others; a private complaint was also filed before the learned Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Gooty on 15.11.2006 in that connection; the matter was referred to the police for investigation and the investigation is pending. The alleged detenu was never illegally detained by the police. Letters from the Sarpanch, M.P.T.C. and Panchayat Secretary are also filed, which show that the alleged detenue has committed a mischief with regard to the land of one Vadugoorappa by destroying the crop; a complaint is pending in that connection and apprehending that he might be arrested by the police, the alleged detenue is absconding and he is now-and-then visiting the village. In all these circumstances, particularly in view of the letters given by the Sarpanch, MPTC and the Panchayat Secretary informing that the alleged detenu is not illegally detained by the police, nothing remains in the writ petition. In the result, the writ petition is dismissed. There shall be no orders as to costs. ______________ D.S.R. Varma, J. ________________ P.Swaroop Reddy, J December 26, 2006 MAS/BVS
