1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY, BENCH AT AURANGABAD. CRIMINAL WRIT PETITION NO.705 OF 2008 Shri Tukaram Laxman Suse .. Petitioner Versus The State of Maharashtra and ors .. Respondents Shri Abhishek Kulkarni, Advocate for petitioner Shri S.K.Kadam, APP for respondent Nos.1 to 3 CORAM : P.V.HARDAS AND R.K.DESHPANDE, JJ. DATE : 8th July 2009 PER COURT : 1. This is a petition for issuance of a writ of habeas corpus directing the respondents to produce Annapurna w/o Babasaheb Sakhare in this Court. 2. The petitioner claims to be real uncle of the missing lady Annapurna. According to the petitioner, the petitioner learnt that from 20.4.2008, said Annapurna is missing. It also appears that a complaint thereof came to be lodged by her husband. The petitioner sent various representations to the respondents expressing suspicion against the husband of the missing lady. 2 3. A notice being issued to the respondents, respondents filed their affidavit-in-reply and in the affidavit-in-reply, it is stated as to the steps which have been taken by the Police for searching the missing lady. Since prima facie the Police have not found any material which would remotely indicate that disappearance of Annapurna is caused by her husband, no offence has been registered by the Police against him. In any event, the search of missing lady is continued and Shri S.K.Kadam, learned APP states that the search would be continued further with same zeal and enthusiasm. In the light of that, therefore, we see no merit in the petition. The petition is, therefore, dismissed. ( R.K.DESHPANDE, J.) ( P.V.HARDAS, J.) vvr/705.08criwp
