Respondents CORAM : HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE T.P.S. MANN Present : Mr. Vikas Lochab, Advocate Mr. Sunil Katyal, Senior Deputy Advocate General, Hry. for respondents No.1 to 3. T.P.S. Mann, J. (Oral) Prayer has been made for issuance of a direction to respondent No.4 to release Mamta, the daughter of the petitioner. According to the reply filed by respondents No.1 to 3, FIR No.307 dated 21.10.2010 under Sections 363/366-A/376 IPC was registered against respondent No.4 on the basis of a statement made by the petitioner. After registration of the case, respondent No.4 was arrested on 9.12.2010 but the daughter of the petitioner could not be found. After completion of investigation and presentation of challan, followed by commitment of the case, the trial Court framed charges against respondent No.4. The prosecution, thereafter, started examining its witnesses. Out of Criminal Writ Petition No.1484 of 2011 -2- the nine witnesses cited by it, six have already been examined and the case fixed for today for recording of the remaining witnesses of the prosecution. After obtaining instructions from ASI Kuldeep Singh, P.S. Kundli, learned State counsel has apprised the Court that respondent No.4 has already been granted the concession of bail by a co-ordinate Bench of this Court. Despite respondent No.4 being kept in police custody and, thereafter, in judicial custody, the police has not been able to recover Mamta, who, according to the prosecution, had been kept by respondent No.4 in illegal detention. Said respondent No.4 is presently on bail and facing the trial of the case. The Court has further been informed by the learned State counsel that the police had taken all possible measures to recover the alleged detenue but failed in its attempts. Even messages were flashed on cable network on 14.8.2011 and on Doordarshan channels on 29.8.2011 but the exercise turned out to be futile. In view of the above, no further orders are required to be passed. The petition is, accordingly, disposed of. ( T.P.S. MANN ) September 07, 2011 JUDGE satish
