IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CR. WJC No.21 of 2011 JAI BARDHAN SHARMA Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR AND ORS. ----------- 02. 10.01.2011 This application has been filed by the petitioner for directing the Respondent No. 11 and other Respondents to release his wife, Sushila Nayan, Respondent No. 10, as she has been kept in illegal confinement by Respondent No. 11. Petitioner’s case is that Respondent No. 10, who is a major, aged about 20 years, is his legally wedded wife. She has been taken by her father to his place at Punjab on 30.09.2010 and thereafter not being allowed to come to the petitioner’s place to live as his wife. The age of Respondent No. 10, as disclosed by the petitioner, is 20 year. She is a major and also educated one, as she was working with the petitioner in Bardhman Yarn & Tread Limited, Ludhiyana (Punjab). If, at all, she would have been inclined to come to the petitioner, she would have come. It is not a case of illegal confinement, rather the petitioner’s remedy lies in filing of application for restitution of conjugal right before the appropriate forum. Accordingly, this application is dismissed. SKM (Mridula Mishra, J.) (Dharnidhar Jha, J.) 2
