State of Punjab and another ....Respondents .... CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE AUGUSTINE GEORGE MASIH **** Present : Mr. Deepak Kapoor Batalvi, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. B.S. Sra, Addl.A.G. Punjab for the respondents. .... AUGUSTINE GEORGE MASIH, J (Oral) The writ petition was filed alleging therein that Sh.Desraj Deora was in illegal and wrongful detention of respondent no.2 and he be released from the said custody. On a prayer made, a Warrant Officer was appointed by this court, vide order dated 2.4.2011, who in compliance with the order of this court, raided the Police Station (City), Ferozepur. Desraj Deora was found sitting in the Computer Room of the police station. Although the detenu has stated before the Warrant Officer that he had been kept there illegally since the intervening night of 29/30.3.2011, yet the stand of the night Munshi Head Constable Binder Singh No.229 was that he had, 20 minutes prior to the raid, come to the police station showing his inclination to join the Crl.W.P.No.810 of 2011 2 raiding party to get his son Amandeep Deora @ Happy arrested, who is wanted in FIR Nos.207 dated 5.10.2010, 208 dated 7.10.2010, 210 dated 10.10.2010 and 253 dated 11.12.2010 under Section 307 IPC and allied Sections of IPC and Section 25 of the Arms Act. Keeping in view the facts as mentioned in the report of the Warrant Officer and also the fact that the alleged detenu has since been released, I do not want to further proceed with the matter, except to grant liberty to the petitioner as well as the alleged detenu Desraj Deora, to take recourse to any legal option, which they may exercise in accordance with law. The petition stands disposed of accordingly. 8.4.2011 ( AUGUSTINE GEORGE MASIH ) GS JUDGE
