Petitioner is the mother of the alleged detenue. The allegation of detention is raised against respondents 3 and 4. 2. The case was not listed today. But it was pointed out by the learned Government Pleader that the alleged detenue has been traced out. The alleged detenue was produced before us. Hence we called for the case and disposing of the same after hearing the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned counsel for the respondents. 3. We interacted with the alleged detenue. The alleged detenue would say that she went on her own and she is not under any detention. It is not in dispute that she is only 17 years of age. The petitioner and her brother are present. We interacted with them also. Learned counsel for the petitioner would state that if W.P.(Crl).No. 77 of 2011 2 the detenue is sent with the petitioner, there will not be any compulsion on the detenue to marry anyone else and that when she attains the age of 18 years, the marriage will be conducted on the basis of her wish. 4. Accordingly we close this Writ Petition by allowing the alleged detenue to go with the petitioner. (K.M. JOSEPH) Judge (M.L. JOSEPH FRANCIS) Judge tm
