Telangana High Court Challenges Rowdy Sheet Constitutionality: Advocate @VijayGopal_ Leads the Charge*

In a significant development, Advocate Vijay Gopal has taken on the #Telanganagovernment, challenging the constitutionality of the "Rowdy Sheet" . The petition, filed in WP 27415 of 2024 and 27483 of 2024, argues that the Telangana Police has been opening rowdy sheets without any legal basis, violating Articles 14, 19(1)(g), and 21 of the Constitution.

*Key Arguments:*

- _Lack of Legal Framework_: The petition claims that the rowdy sheet is being opened without any law or conviction .
- _Colonial and Illegal Term_: The term "Rowdy" is colonial and illegal, and only "Habitual Offender" is the recognized list .
- _Unconstitutional Actions_: The Telangana Police opens rowdy sheets, history sheets, etc., based on Police Manual and Standing Orders, which have no legal force .

*Court Orders:*

The court has directed the police not to call the petitioner to the police station until the next date of hearing, November 7, 2024. The Assistant Government Pleader, Lakshmikanth, appeared for the state and was granted four weeks to file a counter .

Advocate Vijay Gopal has a history of taking on the government in significant cases. In Vijay Gopal vs State Of Telangana on 16 February, 2024, he sought relief against the registration of a frivolous FIR against him .
