Case brief
AI extract
What is this about?
The High Court of Madras addressed a writ petition seeking removal of the petitioner's name from a police history sheet maintained by the Thiruvalangadu Police Station. The Court held that since no fresh offences were committed and the record did not show periodic extension of the history, continuing the name was illegal.
What did the court decide?
The respondents were directed to remove the petitioner's name from the History Sheeter list (H.S.No.14 of 2019) maintained by the 3rd respondent with immediate effect.
