“Criminal jurisprudence is aimed at reforming an offender,” the Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court observed while directing the Superintendent of Police of Thoothukudi district to remove the name of a petitioner from the record of history sheet. The court was hearing the petition filed by Ahamed Al Ameen of Thoothukudi, a Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi functionary. He said that he was not involved in any criminal case and was leading a peaceful life since 2007. However, a history sheet that was opened in 2007 was renewed periodically. The State submitted that the petitioner was a habitual offender and was associated with fundamentalist Imam Ali who was killed in a police encounter. So surveillance was necessary, the State said.
