Now, she says that she is staying at Tiruppur and working. She also made it clear that she does not like to go with the petitioner/her husband. The petitioner, who is present in the court, was also called and appraised of these facts. 4.Therefore, nothing further remains to be considered in this petition. Hence this petition is closed setting the detenue at liberty. However, in view of the fact that both the petitioner and the detenue are not able to live together and the detenue has expressed her desire to live separately from her husband, the learned counsel for the petitioner may advise the parties properly to resolve the dispute in the manner known to law.
