Her father is the petitioner. 2.Today, following the submissions recorded yesterday, the police have produced Sujithra. She has already been subjected to medical examination. We have spoken to her. She has candidly stated that she wants to go with her parents. The 6th respondent with whom she was found is now in police custody. His father, the 5th respondent has filed an affidavit essentially stating that he has no control over the 6th WPCR61/10 -: 2 :- respondent and he as well as his wife are in pathetic situations. Taking into consideration the age of Sujithra, we have appropriately advised her parents to take care of her and to provide emotional support, apart from medical aid which she may now require, having regard to certain injuries suffered by her. With a direction that she shall now go with her parents, i.e., her father, the petitioner and her mother Saraswathy Amma, who is also present here, this petition is closed.
