Judgment Basheer, J: Ms.Biji.L., the alleged detenu is present before the Court. Admittedly Ms.Biji is aged 16 ½ years. 2. Petitioner is also present in Court. Respondent No.3 has appeared through counsel. 3. Learned Government Pleader submits that the girl was produced before the Munsiff-Magistrate, Paravoor on January 31, 2009. The Sub Inspector of Police, Paravoor Police Station who is also present in Court stated before us that on that day the girl could not be sent along with her parents since neither the petitioner nor his wife did appear before the Court. Even on the 2nd and 3rd of February on which dates the girl was produced before the court, petitioner had failed to appear. Initially on 31st January and thereafter on 2nd and 3rd February also the girl was sent to “Mahila Mandiram” run by the Social welfare Department. He further stated that the detenu is produced before the Court today from the “Mahila Mandiram”. 4. Petitioner stated before us that he is prepared to take his daughter along with him. His only apprehension is that there may be some threat from some people who are reportedly supporting respondent No.3. We find no reason why respondent No.2 shall not take appropriate action if any complaint is received from the petitioner in this regard. 5. It is submitted by respondent No.2 before us that a crime will be registered against respondent No.3 forthwith, since the alleged detenu is a minor. The writ petition is closed. A.K. BASHEER Judge Thomas P. Joseph Judge an.
