¶5

Hon'ble Ms. Nand Prabha Shukla,J.

¶6

Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and learned A.G.A. for the State.

¶7

Learned A.G.A. has already accepted notice on behalf of respondent nos.1, 2 & 3.

¶8

The present petition has been filed with the prayer that a writ in the nature of habeas corpus be issued commanding the respondent nos.1, 2 and 3 to recover the detenue/corpora, i.e., petitioner nos.1 to 20 with their bag and wages from the illegal detention of respondent no.4 and release them forthwith.

¶9

The grievance of the petitioners is that the respondent no.4 are illegally detaining the petitioner nos.1 to 20, who were allegedly engaged as bonded labourers in their brick kiln and the District Administration has refused to extend any help to procure the corpus of the petitioner nos.1 to 20 and thus a direction in the nature of habeas corpus may be issued to respondent nos.1 to 3 to extend help to procure the corpus of the petitioner nos.1 to 20.

¶10

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

¶11

However, it will be open to the concerned authorities to take legal action against the petitioners in the event the allegations are found to be incorrect.

¶12

With these observation, this petition is disposed of finally.

¶13

Let a copy of this order be given to the learned A.G.A. to ensure the compliance of this order.
