Cr. Writ Petition No. 6 of 2010 11.3.2010 Present: None for the petitioner. Mr. Vivek Singh Thakur, Addl. Advocate General and Shri Ram Murti Bisht, Dy. Advocate General for the respondents No. 1 to 6. Respondents No. 7 to 9 in person with Shri Ramakant Sharma, Advocate. Pursuant to the order dated 8th March, 2010, the respondent No.3, District Magistrate, Sirmour at Nahan has filed his affidavit. A perusal of this affidavit shows that in compliance to the directions issued by us the District Magistrate visited the spot himself. Some of the persons who were alleged to have been illegally detained were found on the spot. They told the District Magistrate that they have not been detained and are staying there of their own volition to work in the Brick Kiln. The other persons whose names were mentioned in the petition but were not present were stated to have gone to their native village to celebrate the festival of Holi. It is thus obvious that none of the person, alleged to be detained, has actually been detained. The petition is, therefore, dismissed. (Deepak Gupta) Judge. 11th March, 2010 ( Sanjay Karol ) ™ Judge.
