Justice JP Singh of J&K High Court, Jammu Wing, in a petition filed by one Gurbaksh Singh of Amritsar, Punjab, seeking the release of his relatives, who were allegedly detained by brick-kiln owner, has directed the SHO P/S Reasi to immediately visit Maa Bhagwati Brick-Kiln Pambla Road Doogi Tehsil and District Reasi to find out as to whether are not Poli and others have been detained by Dwarka Prop of Brick-Kiln. In case he finds them to be detained, he shall immediately release them from custody and permit them to go with the petitioner. Court has further directed SHO to file compliance report of this order in the Court.
This significant order has been passed in a writ petition filed through Adv Akshay Anand in which it has been submitted that 10 relatives of the petitioner have been detained by the Brick-Kiln owner illegally.
During the course of argument, Adv Akshay Anand submitted that the relatives of the petitioner had come along with him to work as labourers and when he and his relatives demanded wages from the owner of Brick-Kiln, they were beaten-up and threatened that they would be killed in case they raised any demand for wages. Counsel for the petitioner further submitted that the respondent illegally detained the relatives of the petitioner against their whishes and seeking direction for the release of those who had been detained by the owner.
Justice JP Singh while directing police observed that Court is satisfied on the basis of what is contained in the petition and the affidavit of the petitioner that Poli, Neha, Sonu, Kash, Kewal, Rita, Gudi, Kalu, Sunita and Kaka are in illegal detention of Dwarka, the Prop of Maa Bhagwati Brick-Kiln. To protect the life and liberty of these persons, it is considered just and proper to direct SHO P/S Reasi, Justice Singh held. JNF |
