Hyderabad, Feb. 20: The Andhra Pradesh High Court on Wednesday directed the Malkajgiri assistant commissioner of police to file a report on the alleged illegal detention of a woman and her seven-month-old child. A division bench comprising Justice A Gopal Reddy and Justice Nooty Rammohan Rao asked the ACP to submit the report before March 5, while dealing with a habeas corpus petition filed by T. Geetha, wife of Naveen of Malkajgiri,
The court also directed that the woman and the child be kept at the Women and Child welfare rescue home in Ameerpet. The petitioner alleged that the Malkajgiri police took away her husband from the Ranga Reddy district court premises on January 26 and kept him in illegal custody. She also filed an additional affidavit alleging that the police also kept her in custody along with her child for eight days.
Counsel for the petitioner V. Raghunath told the court that woman has been deprived of the legal remedy even after she approached the lower court and the Human Rights Commission.
Assistant government pleader Mohana Reddy denied the allegation and said that the petitioner’s husband is a dossier criminal with non bailable warrants were pending against him. She further told the court he had committed several house-breakings in the Malkajgiri area and police suspects that the stolen property has been kept with Geetha.
