THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE D.S.R.VARMA AND THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE R.KANTHA RAO WRIT PETITION No.7663 of 2009 ORAL ORDER: (Per the Hon’ble Sri Justice D.S.R.Varma) Heard both sides. The writ petition is filed by the petitioner seeking custody of his wife from the custody of his father-in-law, who is respondent No.3. Learned counsel appearing for respondent No.3 submits that there is a chequered history in this case, but he restrained himself from making a mention of all the details owing to the fact that the petitioner and the alleged detenue are living together as husband and wife. We only could see the consent of the third respondent, through his counsel, who from his briefing to the Court stated about certain facts which are, indeed, not very much pressed. However, this Court cannot go into all those aspects. It is only the time that can answer all these queries that are put before the Court. However, having regard to the fact that the petitioner and the alleged detenue are living together as husband and wife and the alleged detenue, being a major, has all the liberty to lead the kind of life she chooses, without going into the further merits of the case, we prefer to close the writ petition as there is no need to adjudicate the matter any more. Accordingly, the writ petition is closed, at the stage of admission. However, there shall be no order as to costs. ______________________ JUSTICE D.S.R.VARMA _______________________ JUSTICE R.KANTHA RAO 17th December 2009 dr
