Petitioner seeks for issuance of a writ of Habeas Corpus directing the respondents to produce the person of Ms. Milu Sunny, who is alleged to be his lover. According to the petitioner, Ms.Millu Sunny is illegally detained by the party respondents against her will and wish. 2. As directed by us, a discrete enquiry was made by the 6th respondent - Sub Inspector of Police, Piravom and the enquiry report shows that Ms. Millu Sunny is not under the illegal custody of anybody as alleged in the writ petition. So however, it is refuted by the petitioner by filing a reply affidavit. Accordingly, we directed the alleged detenue be produced before this Court so as to ascertain the truth or otherwise of the statements made by the parties. 3. Today, the alleged detenue Ms. Millu Sunny was produced before us. We interacted with the girl who has stated that she is not under any illegal custody. She said that she is a free person and she wants to continue her studies. She also expressed her unwillingness to talk with the petitioner. WP(CRL) 46/2008 :2: 4. After hearing both sides and based on the interaction with the alleged detenue, we have no room to doubt that Ms. Millu Sunny is a free person and she is not under the illegal custody of the party respondents as alleged in the writ petition. In such circumstances, we close this writ petition. P.R. RAMAN, (JUDGE) V. K. MOHANAN, (JUDGE) knc/-
