5. The learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the cases pending against the petitioner are falsely foisted against him. He further submitted that although the petitioner submitted a representation on 29.10.2026 seeking removal of his name from the History Sheet, it remains pending without any progress. Hence, he prayed for suitable directions to the respondents.
6. Considering the limited scope of the prayer, this Court, without going into the merits of the case, directs the respondents to consider the petitioner's representation dated 29.10.2026 on its own merits and in accordance with law, after affording an opportunity of hearing to the petitioner, and pass appropriate orders within a period of eight (8) weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.
7. With the above direction, this Writ Petition is disposed of. 10-11-2026 Index: Yes/No Speaking/Non-speaking order Neutral Citation: Yes/No TM To
