The alleged detenue has been produced into the Court by the police, accompanied by the 4th respondent. When enquired with the girl, she stated that her date of birth is 26.01.1981 and she is a major. She fell in love with P.Varun Kumar and both of them married on 04.10.2009 at Dwaraka Tirumala temple and since then they were residing together at her in-laws’ house and her marriage was also registered under the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 on 12.10.2009 and she is willing to reside with her husband and she has not been illegally detained by him, as alleged by her parents. The parents of the girl are also present in the Court. Since the illegal detention has been denied by the alleged detenue and she is voluntarily residing with the 4th respondent after marrying him, the contention of the petitioner that the alleged detenue has been illegally detained by the 4th respondent, cannot be accepted. This writ petition is accordingly dismissed. Parties are at liberty to work out their remedies before the appropriate forum. Police, who brought the alleged detenue, are directed to accompany her to her husband’s place. __________________ A.GOPAL REDDY, J ________________ RAJA ELANGO, J 31st May 2010 lmv
