speculative in nature. Perusal of the affidavit of the Police

in various criminal cases and he has committed

robberies in the locality, thus his name was

entered in Modus Operandi Bureau (MOB) to

keep a watch on his activities.

4.

The aforesaid submission is very vague in nature for

the reasons that specific criminal cases have not been referred.

The respondents are hereby directed to follow the guidelines

issued in the case of D.K. Basu Vs. State of West Bengal

reported in AIR 1997 SC 601 before taking any action against

the petitioner.

With the above observations, writ petition stands disposed

of.
