The petitioner has made a complaint on 06.06.2011 to the second respondent-Police. Since the police did not take any effective steps to trace the detenue, the petitioner has come forward before this Court by way of filing the present Habeas Corpus Petition. 3.Today, the detenue-Lordhu and the petitioner appeared before this Court. When we enquired, the detenue stated that she left the house on her own accord as she had some misunderstanding with her mother/the petitioner herein.
