Hon'ble Vivek Kumar Singh,J.
Heard Sri Abad Ali Tyagi, learned counsel for the petitioners and Sri Sanjay Singh, learned A.G.A.-I, for the State.
The present Habeas Corpus Petition has been preferred on behalf of 38 petitioners, who are allegedly in the illegal captivity of respondent no. 3.
Learned A.G.A. has already accepted notice on behalf of respondent nos.1 to 3.
The grievance of the petitioners is that the respondent no. 4 is illegally detaining the petitioners, and exploiting them as bonded labours without payment of valid wages, who were allegedly engaged as labourers in the brick kiln of the aforesaid respondent, petitioners are compelled to work beyond their capacity,without any medical treatment and inspite of several complaint/application made on behalf of the petitioners to the District Administration no steps have been taken as yet for release of the petitioners.
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 the 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, then action should be taken against the respondent no. 4, to secure the release of the petitioners from the illegal captivity, expeditiously without unreasonable delay, say within a period of fifteen days from the date of filing of a certified copy of this order in accordance with law.
With the aforesaid observations, this petition is finally disposed off.
Let a copy of this order be given to the learned A.G.A. to ensure the compliance of this order.
