¶9

Taking note of the submissions of the learned counsel for the parties, there is no useful purpose to keep this petition pending. Therefore, it is provided that District Magistrate, Baghpat and Senior Superintendent of Police, Baghpat, shall enquire into the matter and if the contentions of the petitioners are found to be correct, they shall do the needful and ensure the release of the petitioners from the illegal captivity, expeditiously without unreasonable delay, in accordance with law.

With these observation, this petition is disposed of finally.
