After hearing the learned counsel for the petitioner, who filed the aforesaid habeas corpus petition, the State counsel as well as respondent No.3, who is present in the Court, and keeping in view the facts and circumstances of the case, we do not find any reason to initiate the contempt proceedings against the respondent. Undisputedly, when Rajesh Kumar, detenue was found in detention in the Police Station, his arrest was shown in case FIR No.145 dated 6.9.2005 registered under Section 379/411 IPC at Police Station Bhikhiwind. He has faced the charges in the said case. As far as the other detenue Satnam Singh is concerned, as per the stand taken by the respondent, the possibility of his entering in the Police Station in conspiracy with the petitioner and the other detenue Rajesh Kumar, cannot be ruled out. According to him, he was not under detention. He was at liberty to go. As far as non-compliance of the directions of the Warrant Officer for releasing the detenue is concerned, in our opinion, the Warrant Officer has exceeded from his powers while ordering the release of the detenue as such like directions are beyond the authority of the Warrant Officer. Regarding allegation of misbehaviour and not receiving the notice, the same have been denied.
