1. The instant petition has been filed for grant of the following substantive reliefs:-

It is, therefore, most respectfully prayed that this Hon'ble Court may be pleased to issue a writ in the nature of Habeas Corpus by appointing a

Warrant Officer to raid the premises of the respondents or any other place pointing out by the petitioners accompanying the Warrant Officer and also

direct to release the detenue Diksha from the unlawful detention/illegal custody of the respondents No. 4, 5 and 6 in the interest of justice and fair

play.

It is, further prayed that this Hon'ble Court may kindly be directed the respondents to act in accordance with law and further the respondents may

kindly be directed to search the detenue Diksha and to investigate in the matter in proper manner, so as the justice may be done.

2. This Court has been continuously monitoring the investigation of this case since October, 2022 on regular basis. We have gone through the

investigation made thus far and are satisfied with it.

who were made party(ies) in the instant case.
