Justice B.S. Bhanumathi of the Andhra Pradesh High Court disposes of MP's petition, directs police to follow guidelines.
Justice B.S. Bhanumathi of the Andhra Pradesh High Court on January 12 (Friday) disposed of the writ petition filed by Narsapuram MP K. Raghu Ramakrishna Raju, seeking protection from arrest in 11 cases allegedly foisted on him by the Andhra Pradesh police, with a direction to them to strictly follow the guidelines laid down by Supreme Court in Arnesh Kumar Vs State of Bihar and the judgment given by a Division Bench (DB) of the High Court earlier in Bollineni Rajagopal Naidu Vs State of Andhra Pradesh.
The judge heard the arguments made on behalf of the State by Government Pleader (Home) V. Maheswara Reddy and senior counsel Y.V. Ravi Prasad and advocate P.V.G. Umesh Chandra for the MP on January 11 and reserved orders for January 12 (Friday).
Mr. Ramakrishna Raju sought protection under the law from his likely arrest during a visit to his constituency for the Sankranti festival, by citing the fact that he has been receiving open threats from various quarters and notices were being continuously issued by the police seeking his appearance for questioning in the said cases.
He also claimed to be tortured by the police under the garb of investigation and the same was observed by the Supreme Court while enlarging him on a regular bail pertaining to a case registered by the CID.

When fed into Latin, pusilla comes out denoting “very small”. The Baillon’s crake can be missed in the field, when it is at a distance, as the magnification of the human eye is woefully short of what it takes to pick up this tiny creature. The other factor is the Baillon’s crake’s predisposition to present less of itself: it moves about furtively and slides into the reeds at the slightest suspicion of being noticed. But if you are keen on observing the Baillon’s crake or the ruddy breasted crake in the field, in Chennai, this would be the best time to put in efforts towards that end. These birds live amidst reeds, the bulrushes, which are likely to lose their density now as they would shrivel and go brown, leaving wide gaps, thereby reducing the cover for these tiddly birds to stay inscrutable.
