115 kiln workers freed

Published November 20, 2008

HYDERABAD, Nov 19: Two additional district judges ordered release of 115 kiln workers when they were produced by Tandojam police under court orders issued on separate applications filed by kiln workers.

Kiln workers Bachayo, Moula Arbab and Wahid Bux who had filed separate applications with the additional district judge-III, seeking release of 37, 14 and 52 kiln workers, said that the workers had been detained in different areas by Daraz Khan, Khairullah and Haji Shahzad, respectively.

The applicants were represented by Shahzado Saleem advocate. Tandojam police produced the kiln workers in court which allowed them to go wherever they wanted to. The applicants said that they had fled the kilns and filed pleas for release of their relatives and family members.

Under a separate application filed by Gul Odh against Zaeeb Khan seeking release of 12 kiln workers, police produced another clutch of workers in court which again ordered their release.

The police official who produced them in court said that the kiln workers were filing false applications to avoid clearing loan obtained from kiln owners.

He said they contacted each other when the court ordered to recover them and then they gathered at a certain place before police arrived there.
