Respondent Nos. 3, 4 and 5 are present before us. The learned counsel for respondent Nos. 3 to 5 has filed affidavits of Karishma, daughter of Subhash Jagdish Kalda. They are taken on record. Cri.W.P. No. 248/11 2 Petitioner Shaikh Akbar s/o. Shaikh Matin and Karishma are present before us. 3. Matter was heard for some time in open Court. Certain questions were put to petitioner, Karishma and her parents. The learned counsel for the petitioner Shri. S.S. Kazi requested for a chamber hearing of the matter. Accordingly, we have heard the parties i.e. petitioner and Karishma independently in the chamber in the presence of Court Shirastedar. 4. From the affidavit of Karishma Kalda, application of Subash Kalda and the submissions made on their behalf by the learned counsel, it transpires that Karishma is not willing to go along with the petitioner. She has disputed relationship between the petitioner and herself. 5. Even in oral interaction Karishma stated that under pressure she had to part company of her parents and now she is determined to focus on her studies and make her career. Parties were heard even in presence of learned counsel and relatives. The elder brother of petitioner is present. Even in presence of learned counsel and the relatives, Karishma expressed the same view. 6. Petitioner submitted that under pressure Karishma is making Cri.W.P. No. 248/11 3 such statement and he is not at fault. 7. Considering the material placed on record and the willingness of Karishma expressed before this Court, we allow Karishma to accompany with her parents. 8. The petition is disposed of. [ T. V.
