DATED: 30th August, 2010 P.C. 1. The two applicants who had absolutely nothing to do with working in the Birla Super Cement factory, took away Mr. Mithilesh Zabban Singh, complainant-Manager with the contractor, who is providing labourers, to Government Rest house and in the Government rest house, snatched away of Rs.5,500/- from his 2 APPLN3406 OF2010.sxw pocket. This exposes a very pitiable state of affairs. The applicant Bhagwan is stated to have forcibly carried Mithilesh Singh on his motorcycle from the place in front of which there is a police camp, and that too through three traffic signals, to the Government rest house where the incident took place. 2. The Additional Superintendent of Police also called a meeting in which applicant Arjun Salgar was called, to resolve the law and order problems relating to the Birla Super Factory. The applicant has nothing to do with the labour dispute in the factory. The applicants are not elected representatives of people and yet the Additional Superintendent of Police found it necessary to invite the Applicant Arjun Salgar for resolving the law and order issue which was arisen as local people were on a hunger strike in front of company gate for their demands. . 3. All the same, considering the nature of allegations, i.e. victim was taken on a motorcycle by public road where there are three traffic signals, and applicant snatched Rs.5,500/- from victim’s pocket in a Government Rest house, as also the fact that the investigation is complete and the chargesheet is filed, the applicants in both the applications be released on bail on their furnishing PR bonds in the sum of Rs.50,000/- each with one or more solvent sureties in the aggregate sum of Rs.50,000/- each on condition that they shall keep themselves away from prosecution 3 APPLN3406 OF2010.sxw witnesses and shall attend the concerned police station on every Sunday between 10.00 a.m to 1.00 pm till the trial is over and desist from indulging in similar activities.
