For Petitioner : M/s.AR.Jeya Rhuthran For R.1&2 : Mr.C.Ramesh, Addl.Public Prosecutor ORDER [Order of the Court was made by S.NAGAMUTHU,J.] The petitioner is the wife of one Babu/ detenu, who is aged about 32 years. Out of their wedlock, they have got five children. The detenu was employed in a local barber shop. He has been found missing from 26.04.2011 onwards. In this regard, the petitioner has preferred a complaint to the second respondent, on which, a case in crime No.443 of 2011, has also been registered and the case is under investigation. Since the whereabouts of the detenu is not known to the petitioner, she has filed the Habeas Corpus petition seeking a direction to the first and the second respondents to produce the detenu before this Court and to set him at liberty. 2. The second respondent has filed a status report, dated 07.09.2011, wherein, he has stated that when the detenu was working in P.O.P.Beauty Parlour, Tuticorin, he had fallen in love with one Divya, where she was also working. From the investigation, it has come to light that the detenu had eloped with the said Divya. Thus, it could be seen that there is no illegal detention as alleged by the petitioner and it appears to be a case of elopement. However, the investigation is in progress. https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/ 2 In view of the above, no further orders are necessary in the Habeas Corpus petition and the same is dismissed with an observation that the respondent police shall continue with the investigation in accordance with law.
