However, it has not even been stated in the reply that he was produced before Judicial Magistrate and what is his latest status regarding custody. State counsel, on instructions from SI Balwant Singh, stated that the alleged detenue Sarmukh Singh is now on bail in the aforesaid case. However, even this fact has not been mentioned in the reply. Such defects are being pointed out to State counsel in various cases very frequently, but in spite thereof, defective replies are being filed. The replies invariably do not contain complete facts.

In view of the aforesaid reply, no further action or order is, however, required in the instant writ petition, which is accordingly disposed of. August 24, 2011 ( L. N. MITTAL ) monika JUDGE
