AJN 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL WRIT PETITION NO.2684 OF 2006 Anju Singh Anju Kumar Singh ... Petitioner Vs. Union of India & Ors. ... Respondents Ms. Radha Mitra for the petitioner. Mr. Y.R. Mishra for the Union of India. Ms. U.V. Kejariwal, A.P.P. for the State. CORAM : SMT. RANJANA DESAI & R.G. KETKAR, JJ. DATED : 16TH JUNE, 2009. P.C.:- 1. Admittedly, the petitioner’s husband Mr. Bhupendra Singh has been declared as a deserter by Indian Navy on 5/11/2003. The petitioner’s case is that since 5/11/2003, the whereabouts of her husband are not known. In the AJN 2 petition, the petitioner has not suggested that anyone has kept her husband under illegal detention. Therefore, in our opinion, it is not possible to issue a writ of habeas corpus. The navy has issued warrants which have been handed over to M.R.A. Marg Police Station for execution. PI Wavhal and API Gaware of M.R.A. Marg Police Station are present in the court. Ms. Kejariwal, learned A.P.P. on instructions from PI Wavhal and API Gaware of M.R.A. Marg Police Station states that the police shall continue to make efforts to execute the warrants. 2. So far as the navy’s action against the deserter is concerned, the same cannot be challenged by the petitioner in this petition. It will be open to the petitioner to adopt appropriate proceedings with regard to order of desertion. Needless to say that if such proceedings are filed, the Authority seized of such proceedings shall deal with them in accordance with law. In future, if the petitioner gets any information that her husband has been illegally detained by anybody, it will be always open to her AJN 3 to come to this court. No further order is necessary. The petition is disposed of in the aforestated terms. [SMT. RANJANA DESAI, J.] [R.G. KETKAR, J.]
