RESPONDENTS. ----------- 05/ 25.08.2010 Counsel for the petitioner is permitted to implead the Superintendent, After Care Home, Gaighat, Patna City as Respondent No. 9. The prayer of the petitioner Poonam Kumari was almost allowed by order dated 17.8.2010 finding that she is major and legally married wife of Abhai Ram (Respondent No. 8). The order of release could not be passed on 17.8.2010 since notice issued to Respondent No. 7, father of petitioner Poonam Kumari has not been properly served. Now notice has been served. Despite this 2 fact Respondent No. 7 has not chosen to appear. Considering the fact that the petitioner Poonam Kumari is not an accused in any police or complaint case and her confinement in the After Care Home is an illegal confinement in connection with Turkoliya P.S. Case No. 253 of 2010, a direction is being issued to Respondent No. 9 (Superintendent, After Care Home, Gaighat, Patna City) to release the petitioner from After Care Home, where she is illegally detained and allowed her to go to any place where she likes. This application is allowed. DKS/ (Mridula Mishra, J.) (Dharnidhar Jha, J.)
