      Finding that name of the petitioner is included in the<\/p>\n
Rowdy List prepared by Nallalam Police, this petition is<\/p>\n
filed under Article 227 of Constitution of India for a writ of<\/p>\n
mandamus to quash Ext.P1 rowdy list to the extent of<\/p>\n
including the name of the petitioner therein. Petitioner<\/p>\n
would contend that though CC No.249\/2006, was taken<\/p>\n
cognizance for the offences under Section 341 and 294 (b)<\/p>\n
of Indian Penal Code against the petitioner, by Ext.P2<\/p>\n
judgment Judicial Magistrate of the First Class -V,<\/p>\n
Kozhikode acquitted the petitioner of the offences. Though<\/p>\n
CC No.701\/2008 was taken cognizance on the report<\/p>\n
submitted by the police alleging that petitioner committed<\/p>\n
an offence under Section 10 of Unlawful Activities<\/p>\n
(Prevention) Act, 1967, by Ext.P3 order, this Court has<\/p>\n
already quashed the cognizance taken. According to the<\/p>\n
petitioner, he is not involved in any other case. It is<\/p>\n
contended that there is no provision in the Code of<\/p>\n
Criminal Procedure or in the Kerala Police Act to prepare a<\/p>\n
 W.P. (C) No.24036 of 2010
\n                                2<\/span><\/p>\n
rowdy list and the criterion adopted by the police for<\/p>\n
including petitioner in the rowdy list is not mentioned<\/p>\n
anywhere in the notice and inclusion of the name of the<\/p>\n
petitioner in the rowdy list is in violation of the fundamental<\/p>\n
rights of the petitioner and therefore a writ of mandamus is<\/p>\n
to be issued quashing Ext.P1 rowdy list so far it relates to<\/p>\n
the petitioner..\n<\/p>\n
      2.    The Sub Inspector of Police, Nallalam Police<\/p>\n
Station filed a statement to the effect that though crime<\/p>\n
No.236\/2001 and 140\/2006 were registered against the<\/p>\n
petitioner, in crime No.140\/2006 petitioner was acquitted<\/p>\n
and crime No.236\/2001 was quashed by this Court and the<\/p>\n
name of the petitioner was included in the rowdy list as he<\/p>\n
was engaged in unlawful activities and creating nuisance to<\/p>\n
the general public and also to his relatives as per the<\/p>\n
orders of the Assistant Commissioner of Police, South<\/p>\n
Kozhikode City, dated 15.8.2006.         It is also stated that<\/p>\n
subsequently on the acquittal and quashing of the cases,<\/p>\n
finding that activities of the petitioner are good, a report<\/p>\n
was sent to the Assistant Commissioner of Police, South<\/p>\n
 W.P. (C) No.24036 of 2010
\n                              3<\/span><\/p>\n
Kozhikode City to delete the name of the petitioner, from<\/p>\n
the rowdy list on 21.8.2010. It is contended that while<\/p>\n
opening the rowdy list in the name of the petitioner there<\/p>\n
was no violation of the norms and conditions and therefore<\/p>\n
the petition is to be dismissed.\n<\/p>\n
      3.    Learned counsel appearing for the petitioner and<\/p>\n
learned Public Prosecutor were heard.<\/p>\n
      4.    Though the Code of Criminal Procedure and<\/p>\n
Kerala Police Act do not provide for preparation of a rowdy<\/p>\n
list, Kerala Police Manual, 1970 Vol-II in Clause 259 of<\/p>\n
Chapter-III provides for preparation of rowdy history sheet.<\/p>\n
Chapter-III relates to Records of Crimes and Criminals and<\/p>\n
Surveillance     of    Bad  Characters.  Clause   250    the<\/p>\n
introduction to the Chapter reads ” in order to facilitate<\/p>\n
the study of property crimes reported in Police Stations and<\/p>\n
of criminals involved in such cases, with a view to<\/p>\n
effectively deal with them, it is necessary to maintain a<\/p>\n
continuous record of the criminal history of such<\/p>\n
individuals and localities in all police stations. A careful<\/p>\n
study of these records will in a large measure help in crime<\/p>\n
 W.P. (C) No.24036 of 2010
\n                                4<\/span><\/p>\n
prevention work by taking due action in time against<\/p>\n
appropriate bad characters.       The headings in the forms<\/p>\n
comprising the registers are self explanatory and do not<\/p>\n
call for individual elucidation”. Clause 251 provides for<\/p>\n
maintenance of Station Crime History. Under the section,<\/p>\n
Station Crime History will be maintained in all Police<\/p>\n
Stations in six parts and it will be treated as a confidential<\/p>\n
record. Modifications necessary in respect of this record in<\/p>\n
Railway Police Stations are indicated in the chapter on<\/p>\n
Railway Police. It shows that Station Crime History is a<\/p>\n
record which is of great help to a new Station House<\/p>\n
Officer, an Investigating officer and also an Inspecting<\/p>\n
officer; the first for a proper study of crime and criminals in<\/p>\n
his new charge, the second for locating a criminal who<\/p>\n
would     probably     have  committed     the  crime   under<\/p>\n
investigation and the third for ascertaining whether the<\/p>\n
record is kept properly and utilised intelligently by the<\/p>\n
investigating and Station House Officers. Station Crime<\/p>\n
History Part-VI (Rowdy History Sheet) is provided under<\/p>\n
Clause 259. Clause 259 reads thus:\n<\/p>\n

      Note: The S.H.O of the Station in which the

     (7)   Activities of non-resident rowdies should be
\n     promptly communicated to the concerned Police
\n     Station in B.C Rolls after making entries in item

     (8)   A Rowdy History Sheet may be closed on
\n     the orders of the Superintendent of Police, based
\n     on the recommendations of the Circle Inspector

     (1)   Section 106 Cr.P.C (Security for keeping
\n     the peace on conviction)<\/p>\n
     (2)   Section 107 Cr.P.C (Security for keeping
\n     the peace etc)<\/p>\n
     (3)   Section 109 Cr.P.C (Security from vagrants

     (4)   Section 110 (F) Cr.P.C (Security for good
\n     behaviour from a person so desparate and
\n     dangerous etc.)<\/p>\n
     (5)   Sections 48, 51 and 51 A of the Kerala
\n     Police Act      (For being found armed between
\n     sunset and      sunrise  intending to commit an
\n     offence, drunken and disorderly conduct, riotous<\/p>\n
 W.P. (C) No.24036 of 2010

      or indecent behaviour in street etc. respectively)<\/p>\n
      (6)   Prosecution    in  appropriate  cases   for
\n      obscene act – songs – Section 294 IPC.<\/p>\n
      (7)   Prosecution for any other specific offence
\n      that may be committed.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
      5.    A proper appreciation of Clause 259 makes it<\/p>\n
clear that      rowdy history sheet shall be maintained<\/p>\n
individually in     Kerala Police Form 174 (D) to keep a<\/p>\n
progressive record and      watch the activities of persons<\/p>\n
found to be indulging in rowdyism. Such sheets are to be<\/p>\n
opened on the orders of the Sub Divisional Police Officer<\/p>\n
or higher authority , based on the reports of the Local<\/p>\n
Police Officer or other sources. The forms of rowdyism as<\/p>\n
enumerated in Clause 259 are habitually committing affray<\/p>\n
and rioting, habitually committing stabbing, threatening<\/p>\n
and beating up prosecution witnesses in court premises<\/p>\n
and forcing them to turn hostile, intimidation of peace<\/p>\n
loving people by acts of violence or by show of force or<\/p>\n
abusive language, rowdyism in cinema halls, theatres,<\/p>\n
sports stadiums, milk booths, bus stands, toddy shops,<\/p>\n
 W.P. (C) No.24036 of 2010
\n                              10<\/span><\/p>\n
trains etc, forcible collection of subscriptions, habitual<\/p>\n
gambling and smuggling of food grains, illicit distillation,<\/p>\n
drunken and disorderly behaviour, decoying persons to<\/p>\n
houses of ill repute by pimps, snatching of gold chains etc.<\/p>\n
or other anti social activity associated with violence. Sub<\/p>\n
clause (5) of Clause 246 provides that a check register of<\/p>\n
rowdies shall be maintained in each Police Station and<\/p>\n
outposts in KPF No. 89 (A).\n<\/p>\n
      6.    Therefore, in the light of the instructions in<\/p>\n
Kerala Police Manual, it cannot be said that maintenance of<\/p>\n
a rowdy list is unauthorised. There is specific provision for<\/p>\n
maintenance of rowdy history sheet and it is for a purpose.<\/p>\n
The question then is whether the name of the petitioner<\/p>\n
could have been included in the rowdy list in view of the<\/p>\n
categories of cases provided in sub clause (2) of clause 259.<\/p>\n
      7.    Though two crimes were registered against the<\/p>\n
petitioner, one for the offences under Sections 341 and 294<\/p>\n
(b) of Cr.P.C, petitioner has already been acquitted in the<\/p>\n
case after recording the evidence. Though another crime<\/p>\n
was registered under Section 10 of      Unlawful Activities<\/p>\n
 W.P. (C) No.24036 of 2010
\n                              11<\/span><\/p>\n
(Prevention) Prevention Act 1967 on the allegation that<\/p>\n
petitioner is working for SIMI,       this Court has already<\/p>\n
quashed the said crime as against the petitioner. There is<\/p>\n
no other case registered against the petitioner.<\/p>\n
      8.    Learned Government Pleader submitted that<\/p>\n
two petitions were registered before Nallalam Police<\/p>\n
Station, the former on 31.12.2005         and the   latter on<\/p>\n
18.5.2006 and in the former the case was that petitioner<\/p>\n
scolded and caused obstruction of the lady complainant and<\/p>\n
in the latter the allegation was that petitioner has severed<\/p>\n
the service connection to the house of the complainant.<\/p>\n
There is no case that       in any of these petitions, after<\/p>\n
conducting enquiry or investigation a crime was registered.<\/p>\n
Therefore, it is clear that there is no justification for<\/p>\n
including the name of the petitioner in the rowdy history<\/p>\n
sheet, as petitioner is not guilty of any form of rowdyism as<\/p>\n
provided under sub clause (2) of Clause 259 of Chapter-III<\/p>\n
of the Kerala Police Manual. Moreover, the statement by<\/p>\n
the Sub Inspector will show that the Sub Inspector has<\/p>\n
addressed the Assistant Commissioner of Police to remove<\/p>\n

\n                               12<\/span><\/p>\n
the name of the petitioner from the rowdy list. In such<\/p>\n
circumstances, name of the petitioner in the rowdy list can<\/p>\n
only be removed.\n<\/p>\n
      The writ petition is allowed. Name of the petitioner in<\/p>\n
Ext.P1 rowdy history sheet maintained by Nallalam Police<\/p>\n
Station is quashed.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
