Petitioner Versus State of Haryana & others ...... Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE AUGUSTINE GEORGE MASIH Present : None for the petitioner. Mr. S.S. Mann, Sr. D. A.G., Haryana. **** AUGUSTINE GEORGE MASIH, J. (ORAL) This writ petition was filed alleging therein that the persons mentioned in para 2 of the writ petition are in illegal detention of respondents No. 5 & 6 and they be released. On 28.3.2011, while issuing notice of motion, this Court had directed the District Magistrate, Rohtak to visit the premises of respondents No. 5 & 6 or depute the concerned SDM or Tehsildar to visit the premises of respondents No. 5 & 6 and submit report by the date fixed. It was further ordered that in case, the persons mentioned in para 2 of the petition are found to be in illegal custody of respondents No. 5 & 6, they be got released forthwith. In compliance with the order passed by this Court status report has been filed by Sh. Vikas Gupta, IAS, District Magistrate, Crl. Writ Petition No. 750 of 2011 -2- Rohtak-respondent No.2, wherein it has been stated that a surprise inspection of “Dharam Brick Kiln, Titoli” was conducted by the Committee constituted for the purpose on 31.3.2011. It was found that all the labourers were free in all respects. The labourers at that moment expressed that they do not want to continue with the work and willing to go back to their homes. They left the brick kiln after settling their accounts under police escort to village Taana, Tehsil Shamli, District Muzaffarnagar (UP) in Vehicle No. HR-56-4356 driven by Sh. Jasbir, Driver. None has put in appearance on behalf of the petitioner despite the case being called the second time. It appears that the petitioner is no more interested in pursuing the case, especially in the light of the fact that the alleged detenues have since been released and have gone to their native place. In view of the above, the present writ petition stands closed. 7.4.2011 (AUGUSTINE GEORGE MASIH) 'sp' JUDGE
