Gujarat HC frees bonded labourers, asks cops to send them to their native place

AHMEDABAD: The Gujarat high court has directed the Vadodara police to release 30 persons belonging to Aligarh in Uttar Pradesh from illegal custody of owner of brick kilns in Chhaani area.

A bench of Justice M R Shah and Justice S H Vora has asked the police to book train tickets for all 30 persons and send them to their native on Friday only. The businessman, identified as Inthan Sheth, Mushar and Bashim by one of the labourers, have been asked to pay a fine of Rs 10,000 for detaining these people.

One of these labourers, Kalu Rajpal filed habeas corpus petition in the high court complaining that 34 of them have been detained as brick kiln workers by the businessmen. They were ill treated and they got food only once in a day. The owners used to beat them. This was because they were duped by a contractor, who fled with the money. Ever since their arrival in Gujarat in September last, the businessmen have been misbehaving with them. Seven of them were minors.

The court appointed advocate Pratik Barot as amicus curiae in this case, and directed the Chhaani police to inquire into the incident. Rajpal's claims proved true and the court ordered all the bonded labourers to be released immediately. However, four of them managed to escape from the businessmen's custody.

The bench ordered their release and asked the cops to see that they reach their native place safely.
