PETITIONER AND 1 State of A.P., repd. Through the Superintendent of Police, Nalgonda District and others. .....RESPONDENTS THE HON'BLE SMT JUSTICE T.MEENA KUMARI & THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE G.CHANDRAIAH WRIT PETITION NO :7978 OF 2007 ORDER: (Per the Honourable Smt.Justice T.Meenakumari) This writ petition is filed by the petitioner seeking a direction in the nature of writ of mandamus to the respondents to produce his wife viz., Shaik Masrath before this Court and set her at free. It is the case of the petitioner that he loved the alleged detenue and on 1.12.2006, they got married in a temple. But, the 3rd respondent, who is the father of the alleged detenue, is not willing for the said marriage and after the marriage, the said girl was confined by her father in the house and therefore, he is not able to meet her. Hence, the present writ petition is filed for her production before this Court. Heard the learned counsel and the learned Additional Advocate General. In case, it is true that the marriage between the petitioner and the allege detenue took place and 3rd respondent confined the alleged detenue in his house, it is needless to observe that the petitioner ought to have approached the appropriate forum by invoking the provisions of the Hindu Marriages Act, but not by invoking the jurisdiction of this Court under Article 226 of the Constitution of India. Hence, We see no merits in this writ petition and the same is liable to be dismissed. In the result, this writ petition is dismissed. No costs. _______________________ Justice T.Meenakumari 19th April, 2007 _____________________ Justice G.Chandraiah Gurc/nn THE HON'BLE SMT.
