Crl. W. P. No. 160 of 2010 -1- IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH -.- Crl. W. P. No. 160 of 2010 Date of decision:- 19.2.2010 Mohan Lal ... Petitioner Versus State of Haryana & Ors. ... Respondents CORAM:- HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE GURDEV SINGH Present:- None for the petitioner. Mr. Paramjit Batta, Addl. A.G., Haryana. Mr. Vinod S. Bhardwaj, Advocate, for respondent No.3. Gurdev Singh, J (oral) Heard. No one has appeared on behalf of the petitioner, who filed this writ petition in the nature of Habeas Corpus for directing respondent No.3 to produce the detenues mentioned therein and for setting them at liberty with further prayer for the appointment of Warrant Officer to search those detenues in the premises of the said respondents or any other place to be pointed out by him. Simultaneously, at the time of issuance of notice, Warrant Officer was appointed, who was directed to ascertain if the detenues named in the petition were being illegally detained and if so to get them released forthwith. As per the direction of the Court, Warrant Officer visited the premises of respondent No.3 and has submitted his report. It is apparent from that report that in fact the dispute between the said detenues and Crl. W. P. No. 160 of 2010 -2- respondent No.3 is regarding the payment of wages. They were not found to be in the illegal custody by the Warrant Officer. However, they left the premises of respondent No.3 in the presence of the Warrant Officer. As the detenues were not found to be in the illegal detention and have already left the premises of respondent No.3, so this writ petition has become infructuous and is dismissed as such.
