JUSTICE T.P.S. MANN By post. Present : Mr. Raja Sharma, Assistant Advocate General, Haryana. T.P.S. MANN, J. (Oral) Letter dated 18.8.2011 sent by the petitioner through post was treated as a habeas corpus petition as he stated therein that on 8.8.2010 Rulda, who was working as Jamandar at the brick kiln of Parveen son of Bablu under the name and style of M/s Mahabir Brick Company (MBC), village Pilani, Police Station Pundri approached the petitioner and his three family members, Desh Pal alongwith his three family members, Manga alongwith his four family members, Parwinder son of Simru alongwith his three family members and Kalu son of Mohkam alongwith his four family members to come and work at the said kiln for manufacturing kacha bricks. However, when the petitioner Crl. Writ Petition 1634 of 2011 -2- and others reached the brick kiln, they found that the work of manufacturing kacha bricks had not started and even the earth was unfit for preparation of the said bricks. When the petitioner and his co- workers alongwith their family members tried to leave the brick kiln, the owner of the brick kiln and the Jamandar did not allow them to do so, rather they were detained illegally. Learned State counsel has produced the copy of the report dated 8.9.2011 prepared by Naib Tehsildar, Pundri wherein it stands mentioned that an inspection team was set up by him which went to M/s Mahabir Brick Company (MBC), village Pilani, District Kaithal. Neither the petitioner nor any of his co-workers was found present there. Statements of three persons, who were loading and unloading bricks were recorded wherein they stated that they had never seen the petitioner and his co-workers at the said place. They also stated that they were not facing any difficulty while working at the brick kiln nor they had any complaint against the owner of the kiln. In view of the report of the Naib Tehsildar, which is taken on record, no further orders are required to be passed in the present petition, which is, accordingly, disposed of. ( T.P.S.
