Petitioner Vs. 1.The Inspector of Police, Melur Police Station, Melur. 2.The Superintendent of Police, Madurai District, Madurai. 3.Mahanathi 4.Arumuga Raj @ Arumugam 5.Pandimeenal @ Meena ... Respondents PRAYER: The Habeas Corpus petition is filed under Article 226 of the Constitution of India, to issue a Writ of Habeas Corpus directing the respondents to find and produce the body and person of the petitioner's daughter by name Johnsi Rani aged 18 years before this Court and set her at liberty. For Petitioner : Mr.C.Sasikumar For Respondents : Mr.P.N.Pandidurai,APP For R1 and R2 Mr.R.Venkateswaran For R3 to R5 ORDER (Order of this Court was made by S.RAJESWARAN,J.) This petition has been filed by the father of the detenu to trace his daughter viz., Johnsi Rani, who has completed +2 last year, who is said to be missing from 07.03.2011. 2.On enquiry, the 5th respondent informed that his son/3rd respondent has kidnapped the detenu and married the detenue and living with her. Since the whereabouts of the daughter are not known, the petitioner has filed a criminal complaint before the respondent Police on 07.03.2011 itself. However, no action has been taken in this regard. It is the specific case of the petitioner that the detenu was wearing 10 sovereigns of jewels on that day when she was missing and it is also his specific case that respondents 3 to 5 might have kidnapped her for gain. Hence, this petition has been filed for the above said relief. https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/ 2 3.Today, the detenu appeared before this Court on her own through counsel. The 3rd respondent and the petitioner are also present before this Court today. 4.When we enquired the detenu personally, she disclosed that she married the third respondent and living happily with him, which is opposed by her parents. In fact, she states that the 3rd respondent and his parents have kept her well and therefore, she would like to go only with the 3rd respondent and not with the petitioner. She has even told the petitioner before the Court that she would not like to go with him. 5.In view of the fact that the detenu has appeared before this Court and disclosed that she does not want to go with the father and would like to live only with 3rd respondent, the petition deserves to be dismissed as there is no illegal custody of the detenu by anyone much less the 3rd respondent. Therefore, the petition is dismissed.
