THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE A.GOPAL REDDY and THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO WRIT PETITION No.7421 of 2011 ORDER: (Per Hon’ble Sri Justice A.Gopal Reddy) The petitioner, who is the mother of alleged detenu, namely, Master Abdul Tahmeem, aged about 19 years, filed this writ petition for issuance of writ of Habeas Corpus for production of her son before this Court and set him free. According to the petitioner, the alleged detenu is prosecuting B.Tech III year Civil Engineering from Nizam Institute of Engineering & Technology and he left the home on 01.03.2011 and thereafter did not return. On 06.03.2011, while she was searching for the alleged detenu, she found him in a house bearing No.924/4/A/200, Langer House, Hyderabad, along with one lady aged about 35 to 40 years, but the said lady did not allow the alleged detenu to come with her and confined him illegally. On enquiry, she came to know that the said lady has taken divorce twice and she trapped the alleged detenu, took him away along with her and detained at some unknown place. Based on the complaint given by her, the respondent police registered a case in Crime No.89 of 2011 on 15.03.2011 under the head “Boy Missing”, but however, they have not taken any action so far. Hence, this writ petition. In response to the notice, the respondent-Station House Officer, Langer House Police Station, Hyderabad filed a counter-affidavit stating that apart from the complaint of the petitioner, based on which a case in Crime No.89 of 2011 was registered, another complaint was received on 24.03.2011 from one Mohd.Masood Ali, who is the father of Rubina, stating that his daughter is missing along with the alleged detenu and that the alleged detenu misguided her. On the basis of the said complaint, another case in Crime No.95 of 2011 was registered under the head “Woman Missing” and investigation is taken up in both the crimes. The investigation reveals that on coming to know that the alleged detenu is residing with the said Rubina, the petitioner approached the alleged detenu on 28.02.2011 and in this connection some altercations took place between them and that as the alleged detenu did not accompany the petitioner, she left that place. It is also stated that the alleged detenu voluntary moved with the said Rubina for quite some time and resided with her at Langer House, Hyderabad, for a period of 15 to 20 days, and thereafter, both of them left that place and their whereabouts are not known. It is further stated that they are making efforts to trace the alleged detenu and the said Rubina. Since the alleged detenu is a major and when the petitioner requested him to come along with her, he refused to accompany her, it cannot be said that he is in illegal detention. However, having regard to the registration of the above said crimes, the police are directed to complete the investigation and file necessary report before the Magistrate concerned and they shall also furnish a copy of report the petitioner Subject to the above direction, the writ petition is disposed of. __________________ A.GOPAL REDDY, J __________________ RAJA ELANGO, J Dated 25.04.2011 va
