THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE D.S.R.VARMA AND THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE SANJAY KUMAR Writ Petition No.17403 of 2009 Date: 14-9-2009 Between G.Satyanarayana ... Petitioner and 1. The Government of Andhra Pradesh, Rep. by its Prl. Secretary, Home Dept., Secretariat, Hyderabad and 5 others ... Respondents THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE D.S.R.VARMA AND THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE SANJAY KUMAR Writ Petition No.17403 of 2009 Oral Order: (per D.S.R.Varma, J.) Heard both sides. 2. This writ petition is filed by the petitioner alleging that his wife, by name A.Pavani (hereinafter referred to as 'the detenue') had left his company and has been residing with her father, by name A.Venkataramulu Goud, who is arrayed as respondent No.4, at Komireddipally Village, Addakal Mandal, Mahabubnagar District. Hence, he seeks issuance of a writ of habeas corpus by this Court. 3. This Court initially issued notice to the respondents, including respondent No.4, in whose custody, the detenue has been under alleged illegal detention, upon which, respondent No.4 along with the alleged detenue are present before this Court. Upon being questioned, the alleged detenue has stated that she is not married at all to the petitioner and she is a minor and further, that she wants to live only with her parents. The said statement is made by her before this Court with all assertion. 4. Further, it is to be noted that no complaint had been made by the petitioner to the Police alleging that respondent No.4 had illegally detained his wife. In normal course, a criminal complaint ought to have been given to the Police and investigation is to ensue. Unfortunately, since no criminal complaint has been lodged and on the contrary, the present writ petition has been filed, having regard to the facts and circumstances and as stated above by the alleged detenue before this Court, we are of the opinion that there will not be any useful purpose in continuing the writ petition. 5. For the foregoing, we find no merit in the writ petition and the same is liable to be dismissed. 6. In the result, the writ petition is dismissed, at the stage of admission, however, with liberty to the petitioner to work out his remedies elsewhere, as permissible under law. ____________________ JUSTICE D.S.R.VARMA ____________________ JUSTICE SANJAY KUMAR 14th September, 2009.
