It is stated that during the year 1999, the petitioners came in contact with Puran Chand son of Kala Ram. Puran Chand told the petitioners that he is doing the business of travel agent and arranging Visas, Passport, employment in Canada, United States of America and England. The petitioner is said to have paid a sum of Rs. 6,00,000/- to Puran Chand for going abroad. Puran Chand in October, 1999 informed the petitioners that they have arranged for employment of the petitioner No. 1 in U.S.A. The petitioner was ultimately taken to Moscow, from where he was brought back as the travel documents were not complete. On his return, the petitioner demanded the refund of the money from Puran Chand. Despite repeated requests, the amount was not returned. Therefore, the petitioner moved a complaint against Puran Chand. Puran Chand agreed to refund Rs. 5,00,000/- on the condition that the complaint was withdrawn. 2. It is further stated that the representatives of the Union Territory were not agreeable for withdrawal of the complaint. Inspite of that, the petitioners withdrew the complaint. Since then, according to the petitioners, Puran Chand and Karam Singh are absconding. They have, in fact, according to the petitioners gone abroad. 3. It is submitted by the learned Counsel that because of the aforesaid facts, different officers from the States of Punjab and Haryana and the Union Territory, Chandigarh are visiting the petitioners and wanting to arrest them.
