The division bench disposed of the habeas corpus petition filed with the said order.
In the habeas corpus filed by Dhannu Kol, resident of village Ubra, Vijayraghavgarh of Katni district, it was said that his son Shiv Prasad alias Ledda was taken to Telangana by Rajkumar Kabra and Maujilal Sahu for labor. During this time his son is missing, and no clue is being found in relation to him.
