KADAMKUAN, DISTRICT. – PATNA. ------ PETITIONER. Versus 1. STATE OF BIHAR THROUGH THE DIRECTOR GENERAL OF POLICE, BIHAR, PATNA. 2. THE SENIOR SUPERINTENDENT OF POLICE, DISTRICT – PATNA AT PATNA. 3. THE TOWN SUPERINTENDENT OF POLIE, DISTRICT – PATNA AT PATNA. 4. THE TOWN DEPUTY SUPERINTENDENT OF POLICE, DISTRICT – PATNA AT PATNA. 5. THE POLICE INSPECTOR CUM OFFICER-IN CHARGE, POLICE STATION KADAMKUAN, DISTRICT- PATNA. ---------- RESPONDENTS. ----------- For the Petitioner : Mr. Binit Kumar, Advocate. For the Respondents : Mr. Kaushal Kumar Jha, Advocate Standing Counsel-18. Mr. Krishna Chandra Jha, Advocate JC to SC-18. ------- 7. 6/1/2009 Petitioner claims to be the father of one Nisha Devi and his prayer in this application is for issuance of the writ in the nature of habeas corpus for her production. Mr. Binit Kumar appears on behalf of the petitioner. Respondents are represented by SC-18. It is not the case of the petitioner that his daughter is in confinement of any public authority or any individual. From the tenor of the counter affidavit and the documents filed therewith, it seems that the petitioner’s daughter has left the house voluntarily. In that circumstance, we are of the opinion that the prayer made by the petitioner for issuance of the writ in the nature of habeas corpus is absolutely misconceived. - 2 - As the substantive case has been registered alleging kidnapping of the girl, we deem it expedient that the Investigating Officer concludes the investigation without unnecessary delay expeditiously. Writ application stands disposed of with the observation aforesaid. S.Ali (Chandramauli Kr. Prasad, ACJ.) (Dr. Ravi Ranjan, J.)
