The grievance of the petitioner, in this writ petition, is that his wife Vandana was illegally confined by her parents owing to some family disputes. Therefore, he seeks interference of this Court by way of issuing a writ of Habeas Corpus for production of the alleged detenue. 3. Today, when the matter is called, the alleged detenue is produced before this Court by the police of Banjara Hills. Upon being questioned by this Court, the alleged detenue stated, in the open Court, that she married the petitioner on her own volition and she has been living with her husband and that there is absolutely no complaint, whatsoever, against her husband and they have been leading their marital life peacefully. 4. Obviously, the alleged detenue is a major and she has every right to lead the life as per her will and wish and can live with the person to whom she married. Therefore, no useful purpose would be served in continuing the writ petition any further. 5. Accordingly, the writ petition is closed, at the stage of admission. There shall be no order as to costs. ________________________ JUSTICE D.S.R.VARMA _________________________ JUSTICE R.KANTHA RAO 15.09.2009. Lmv
