The case of the petitioner is that the 4th respondent passed order dated 21.11.2017 directing the 6th respondent to open rowdy sheet against him on the ground that he is involved as an accused in Crime No.2/2016 under Sections 341, 324 r/w.34 IPC and Cr.No.19/2015, under Section 107 Cr.P.C of Chapadu P.S. to keep close watch on his movements.

Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that in Crime No.2/2016 on the file of Chapadu P.S, the petitioner was acquitted as the case was compromised and in another crime i.e. Crime No.19/2015 on the file of Chapadu Police Station, Sec.107 CRPC proceedings were initiated for a period of six months and the same was closed long back. He further submits that the competent authority in a mechanical fashion and even without application of mind has opened rowdy sheet against the petitioner.
