The petitioner seeks to strike-off his name from Register No. 10 and issuance of directions to the officers of the Delhi Police from not visiting his residence at will, to ascertain his activities.
The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that such activities cause a lot of embarrassment and suspicion in the neighbourhood and is a cause of much harassment to the petitioner as well to his family members. There is no case pending against him since the year 2004. Furthermore, he has never been convicted in any criminal case, thus far. The fact of the petitioner‟s not having been convicted in any case has been admitted in the Status Report filed on 06.08.2018.

Whether the petitioner's name should be struck off from Register No. 10 and bundles A and B given his acquittal and lack of pending cases.
