E. that the impugned order suffers with illegality and liable to be set aside and respondent No. 2 may be suitably directed to close the history sheet No. 33-A of 2003 against the petitioner, at police station Brijmanganj, District Maharajganj.
(2.) From the perusal of record it appears that history sheet No. 33-A of 2003 has been opened at Police Station Brijmanganj, District Maharajganj. Seven criminal cases from the year 1987 to 2005 have been registered against the petitioner and 3 cases under section 110, Cr.P.C., sections 3/4 U.P. Control of Goondas Act and section 10 of U.P. Control of Goondas Act were also registered against the petitioner from the years 2008 to 2010. The impugned order shows that out of 7 cases registered against the petitioner, he has been acquitted in two cases only because the witnesses were declared hostile but five criminal cases were pending against the petitioner. Case Crime No. 790 of 2008 under section 110, Cr.P.C., Police Station Brijmanganj, District Maharajganj is also pending. Case Crime No. 869 of 2009 under section 3/4 U.P. Control of Goondas Act, Police Station Brijmanganj, District Maharajganj has been decided by the District Magistrate, vide order dated 17.12.2009, in which the order of internment for a period of six months has been passed against the petitioner. In violation of the order dated 17.12.2009, Case Crime No. 180 of 2010 under section 10 of the U.P. Control of Goondas Act has been registered against the petitioner at Police Station Brijmanganj, District Maharajganj. The S.P. Maharajganj has considered each case which was registered against the petitioner, thereafter a reasoned order has been passed by which the representation of the petitioner has been rejected. The impugned order dated 1.5.2010 is a well reasoned order, it does not require any interference by this Court There is no good ground to quash the order dated 1.5.2010 passed by S.P. Maharajganj by which the representation for closing the history sheet No. 33-A of 2003 P.S. police station Brijmanganj, district Maharajganj has been rejected and there is no good ground to close the history sheet No. 33-A of 2003 P.S. police station Brijmanganj, district Maharajganj. Therefore, the prayer for quashing the impugned order dated 1.5.2010 and closing the history sheet No. 33-A of 2003, P.S. Police Station Brijmanganj, District Maharajganj is refused at this stage. Accordingly, this petition is dismissed.;
