According to her she is major and had married one Mithilesh Sao and the allegation that she has been kidnapped is untrue. According to the informant father she is minor. On the basis of the materials on record, it is difficult for this Court to hold as to whether the petitioner is minor or major. In my opinion, it is a matter of investigation.

The petitioner so appearing, the Superintendent of Police, Gaya shall ensure that her statement is recorded immediately. In case the petitioner produces documents concerning her age, the Superintendent of Police shall ensure its consideration by the - 2 - Investigating officer. The Superintendent of police shall also ensure that investigation of Kotwali P.S. Case No.246/2007 is concluded without unnecessary delay. This writ application stands disposed off with the direction aforesaid. (C. K. Prasad, ACJ.) AMIN
