In his investigation report No: 1982 dated 21/12/2012 it is clear that the report of Naib Tehsildar, Bhikhiwind that on 26/9/011 he went to the house of the complainant Prem Singh but was not present there. But his mother Sawarn Kaur, brother Nirmal Singh and other members were present. The family members were told that again he will come on 28/9/11.

He was contacted on his mobile no: 96925-91176 and he was told to present his case” I waited for the complainant for three hours but he did not present himself.” So in his absence I started the investigation in the presence of the village respectable persons which is given in the under mentioned Paragraphs:- (1) Bakshish Singh in the presence of all told that Prem Singh @ Prema was previously employed with one Harnand Singh S/o Gurnam Singh of village- Daliri. He paid him Rs.37,000/- his debt and employed Prem Singh with him from 2002 to 2010. He worked with him and he was paid according to the village customs a yearly wage: besides this Prem Singh had been taking the money for his family use. (2) No interest was charged on the debt advance. (3) No work has been extracted from the complainant in lieu of the debt. (4) That the complainant Prem Singh took Rs. 37,000/- and give it to Harnand Singh S/o Gurnam Singh and had been receiving his contract money along with the money for his family needs. Bakshish Singh said he never demanded Rs. 1,50,000/- because so far no account has been made. The wages were paid according to the village customs as a servant is employed on a consolidate yearly wage and no money is being paid in accordance to the Minimum wage. He also said that it is wrong to say that the complainant was ever made a bonded labour as he just lives only 200 yards away from his house and this person every day goes to his house and sleeps in his own house. The enquiry was made from the other persons present there during the investigation: they also testified that Prem Singh was never made a bonded labourer as Prem Singh used to go home every night after compilation of his work. They also told that from 2010 Prem Singh had left the work with Bakshish Singh. Investigation was done in the presence of villagers and the statements of the concerned persons were recorded. After going through the material facts. I have come to the conclusion that Prem Singh @ Prema was never made a bonded labourer because his out house was very close to the house of Bakshish Singh where he used to go everyday and sleep in the night. The debt of Rs.37,000/- which was paid by Bakshish Singh was returned to his previous employer, Harnand Singh S/o Gunam Singh, with whom he was employed previously. According to the statement of Bakshish Singh, he has neither made an account nor he claims that Rs. 1,50,000/- is due towards the complainant. The servants are paid according to the village customs and no interest has been charged. So I find no truth in this complaint. I am forwarding this report to you for further action.
