A division bench of the HC, comprising Justice A K Shrivastava and Justice N K Modi yesterday also issued notices on the respondents including Rajasthan government, CBI and Rajasthan ATS.

The order came on a habeas corpus petition filed by the family of Ajmer blast suspect Chandrashekhar Barod (40), who alleged that the respondents have not provided information about Chandrashekhar's whereabouts after he was picked up by them from Nadvoday School at Arnaya Kala in Shajapur district.

Barod's advocate Bhuvan Deshmukh said that the Rajasthan ATS and CBI arrested Chandrashekhar unlawfully and he was forced to sit in a SUV on April 30.

Chandrashekhar had gone to fetch his daughter home from school when he was taken away, the petition said.
