J U D G M E N T Raman, J. W.P.(C) 20936/2007 is filed by one Anoop and Ms. Mariya Sebastian, who are husband and wife, belonging to different community, seeking police protection against Respondents 4 to 7. The 4th respondent is the father of the second petitioner and Respondents 5 to 7 are her relatives. W.P.(Crl). 164/07 is filed by the father of the girl Maria Sebastian, who is the 4th respondent in W.P.(C) 20936/07, alleging that Maria Sebastian is under the illegal custody of Respondents 4, 5 and 6 therein. 2. Both these matters were taken up for consideration and orally directed the parties to appear before this Court. Accordingly, the parties appeared today. We interacted with the alleged detenue Ms. Maria Sebastian. We also permitted her mother and mother's sister to talk with her and after an hour, we took up the matter for consideration. 3. Ms. Maria submitted that she is not under the illegal custody of Anoop and that she had gone on her own accord. However, she submitted :2: WP(C) 20936/07 & WP(CRL.) 164/2007 that now she wants to go along with her parents. She is a major and therefore, she is set free to go along with her parents. 4. In view of the above, we find that no order of protection, as such is required to be made in W.P.(C) 20936/2007. Neither party shall cause any harassment to the other. The police shall take such steps that are necessary to close the man missing case. W.P.(C) 20936/2007 is closed. W.P.(Crl.) 164/2007 will be posted for further consideration on 17.8.2007. Ms. Maria Sebastian along with her mother shall be present in the court on that day. A copy of this judgment shall be produced before appropriate court. P.R. RAMAN, (JUDGE) T.R.
