The  petitioner  has  also  sought  for  a further direction to<br \/>\nrespondents 1 and 3 to  take  all  necessary  measures  forthwith  to  provide<br \/>\nrehabilitation  to  the persons listed in the Annexure, who are held as bonded<br \/>\nlabourers, in the light of the Bonded Labour Abolition Act, 1976 and the rules<br \/>\nmade thereunder.\n<\/p>\n<p>        2.  Pursuant to the direction of this Court, all the 18 persons listed<br \/>\nin the Annexure, appeared before us.  We enquired each one of them.  Among the<br \/>\nsaid 18 persons, three are minor and others are major.   During  the  enquiry,<br \/>\nthey reported that they all belong to Nathakuzhi Colony, Manapattur Panchayat,<br \/>\nSendhurai Taluk, Perambalur District.  According to them, on the advice of the<br \/>\neighth  respondent, who is also the present before us, they went to Nedunallur<br \/>\nVillage of Ernakulam District, Kerala.  They further informed this Court  that<br \/>\neach of  them  was  promised to pay Rs.100\/- per day.  It is further seen from<br \/>\ntheir statement that they went to the said place a month  ago  and  they  were<br \/>\ngetting an  amount  from  respondents 7 and 8 every week for food.  Except one<br \/>\nSivakumar,  Son  of  Thambusamy,  other  17  persons  are  not  interested  in<br \/>\ncontinuing their job there and they want to come back to their native village.<br \/>\nThey  also  requested for settlement of their one month wages by respondents 7<br \/>\nand 8.  They also prayed that the same may be directed to be paid to them.\n<\/p>\n<p>        3.  Though the petitioner has filed this petition  alleging  that  the<br \/>\npersons  mentioned  in  the Annexure were taken to Kerala as bonded labourers,<br \/>\nour enquiry of all the 18 persons shows that  due  to  unemployment  in  their<br \/>\nvillage  and  on the assurance of the eighth respondent that they will be paid<br \/>\nwages at the rate of Rs.100\/- to Rs.120\/- per day, they went to Kerala.   They<br \/>\nalso  informed  us  that  all  of  them  were  paid Rs.250\/- towards transport<br \/>\ncharges.  On our enquiry  of  all  the  18  persons  as  well  as  the  eighth<br \/>\nrespondent  and  the  statement  of  the  learned  Government Advocate, we are<br \/>\nsatisfied that all these persons were not taken as bonded labourers  and  were<br \/>\nalso not  treated  so.    However, it is clear that due to unemployment in the<br \/>\narea in which all of  them  are  residing  and  in  order  to  eke  out  their<br \/>\nlivelihood and on the assurance that they will be paid decent wages, they left<br \/>\ntheir native place and went to the place of the seventh respondent.\n<\/p>\n<p>        4.   In  view of their willingness to go back to their native place at<br \/>\nPerambalur District, they are permitted to go to their native place.   Learned<br \/>\nGovernment  Advocate  has  assured  that  their  journey from Chennai to their<br \/>\nnative place will be taken care of by the official respondents.    Considering<br \/>\nthe  grievance  expressed  by  the 18 persons mentioned in the Annexure, it is<br \/>\nmade clear that if they make any representation  to  the  District  Collector,<br \/>\nPerambalur District regarding their poverty, unemployment, etc.  the Collector<br \/>\nis  directed  to  consider  the  same, and if suitable employment is available<br \/>\nwithin his jurisdiction, the  request  of  those  persons  may  be  considered<br \/>\nsympathetically.   The  eighth respondent is directed to collect wages for the<br \/>\nperiod of one month in respect of those 18 persons mentioned in  the  Annexure<br \/>\nfrom  the  seventh  respondent and pay the same to them within a period of one<br \/>\nmonth from today.  Further direction is also issued to respondents 3 and 5  to<br \/>\nmonitor  and see that the arrears of wages being settled to all the 18 persons<br \/>\nby respondents 7 and 8.\n<\/p>\n<p>        5.  With the above observation\/direction, the habeas  corpus  petition<br \/>\nis disposed of.\n<\/p>\n<p>To\n<\/p>\n<p>1.
