ORDER

' SYED HAMID ALI SHAH, J.---The alleged detenus have been brought and are present in this Court.

Report of the Bailiff reveals that they were sitting on their cots, in the residential quarters without any restraint.

2. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of respondent No,5 states that the object of filing this petition is mala fide. Adds that the alleged detenus and petitioner, have received a sum of Rs,1,20,000 (rupees one lac twenty thousand only) as advance payment of labour. The petitioner has moved this petition, so that they should wriggle out of their liabilities and escape from the job for which their services were hired against advance payment. Learned counsel has vehemently argued that the petitioner is habitual in filing writ petitions and he has already filed writ petitions against Abdur Razzaq, Sheikh Anwar and Jalal Din, the brick-kiln owners, in the same vicinity.

3. Be that as it may, the respondents have the right to initiate a legal action, which is available to them for the recovery of the amount paid by the respondents as advance. There is no restraint on the respondents, if they choose any action against the alleged detenues.

4. The detenus are present in the Court and state that they do not want to render their services any more for the respondents. They are set free and allowed to move according to their wishes.

5. With the above observations, the instant habeas petition is disposed of.
