Petitioner Versus The State of Punjab and Others ... Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE KANWALJIT SINGH AHLUWALIA. Present: Mr. Vipul Aggarwal, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. S.S. Chandumajra, Deputy Advocate General, Punjab, for respondents No.1 to 3. None for respondents No.4 to 7. Kanwaljit Singh Ahluwalia, J. (Oral) The present writ petition has been filed under Article 226 of the Constitution of India for issuance of a writ in the nature of Habeas Corpus for release of Gurpreet Kaur, wife of the petitioner, from the unlawful custody of her parents and relatives. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that after the issuance of notices, Gurpreet Kaur has been released by respondents No.4 to 7 and today she is present in Court. However, learned counsel has made a grievance that to pressurize Gupreet Kaur, respondents No.4 to 7 had mercilessly beaten her, which resulted into abortion. He further submits that liberty be granted to the petitioner to prosecute Criminal Writ Petition No. 2676 of 2011 2 respondents No.4 to 7. As on today, the alleged detenue is not in an unlawful custody of anyone and she is present in Court along with the petitioner, therefore, no writ, in the nature of Habeas Corpus, can be issued. Hence, the present writ petition is disposed of. Needless to say that the petitioner and the detenue are always at liberty to pursue their lawful remedy.
