The State Of Bihar 2. The Director General of Police, Bihar, Patna. 3. The Inspector General of Police( Administration), Tirhut COmmissionary , Muzaffarpur 4. The D.I.G, West Champran at Bettiah 5. The Superintendent of Police, West Champaran at Bettiah 6. The S.H.O, Police Station, Sanichari, District West Champaran 7. Hari Nandan Pandey son of late Panchanand Pandey, resident of Village Dular Patti, Police Station Sanichari, District West Champaran … … Respondent. ---------------------------------- 2. 20. 12.2011 After having perused the writ petition which has been filed by the petitioner claiming to be married to Anjali Kumari alias Rinki Kumari, daughter of Harinandan Pandey and seeking her release from illegal confinement of her parents on the strength of her statement made and recorded under Section 164 Cr. P.C., we are of the view that the remedy of Habeas Corpus is misconceived. In her statement the girl has clearly evinced her willingness to live either with her husband, i.e., the petitioner, or with her father. The Magistrate has released her to the custody of her father. There is no element of illegality in such an action. The petitioner’s grievance is that he is not being permitted to even meet her nor is she permitted to come and live with him. The petitioner has other remedies in law provided. He may avail of those remedies but writ of Habeas 2 Corpus is not available to him. We may note that we have not gone into the correctness or otherwise of the statements made in the writ petition. This writ petition is accordingly dismissed. Kanth ( Navaniti Prasad Singh, J.)
