The petitioner and his relatives searched the detenu and they came to learn that the respondents 4 to 7 have abducted his daughter and kept her in their illegal custody. On the complaint given to the respondent Police a case has been registered against the 4th respondent. Since the whereabouts of his daughter are not known, this petition has been filed for the aforesaid relief. 3. Today the detenu appeared on her own before this Court through a counsel. She was accompanied by the 4th respondent who is said to be her husband. According to the detenu, she had gone out of the house and married the 4th respondent on her own will. Since their marriage is not accepted by the petitioner and others, she had left from the house of the parents to marry the 4th respondent. According to her, she is living happily with the 4th respondent and the parents of the 4th respondent have accepted the marriage and they are keeping them happily too. Further, she does not want to go with the petitioner/father and other relatives excepting living with the 4th respondent. We enquired the petitioner/father, mother of the detenue and the 4th respondent and his relatives. We also advised them suitably. 4. In view of the fact that the detenu appeared before this Court and disclosed that she has gone out on her own and married the 4th respondent and living happily with him, this petition deserves to be dismissed as the detenu is not in illegal custody by anyone much less the 4th respondent. Hence, this petition is dismissed.
