Respondents Petition filed under Article 226 of the Constitution of India to issue a Writ of Habeas Corpus directing the respondents 1 to 3 to secure the detenue and produce the person or body of the detenue, the petitioner's husband, Arichandran, S/o.Veeran, aged 31 years, before this Court, who is illegally detained by the respondents 4 to 8, and set him at liberty. For petitioner : Mr.M.Karthikeya Venkitachalapathy For respondents : Mr.A.Ramar, Additional Public Prosecutor for R1 and R2 ORDER (Order of the Court was made by S.NAGAMUTHU, J.) The petitioner is the wife of one Mr.Arichandran, aged 31 years. The marriage between them was celebrated on 23.05.2010 and they were living as husband and wife. Thereafter, there arose some dispute in respect of dowry. This resulted in a complaint to the police. It appears that some enquiry was also conducted. While so, according to the petitioner, the detenu has been found missing from the month of March 2011 onwards. In this regard, the petitioner made a complaint to the police. In that complaint, she had stated that her husband was ill-treating her demanding dowry. An enquiry was held on 17.08.2011 in the Police Station. During enquiry, the petitioner gave a letter stating that her husband had already gone to a foreign country on employment. Therefore, in the presence of other witnesses, she requested the police not to pursue the matter further. Thereafter, she has come up with the present Habeas Corpus Petition seeking https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/ 2 a direction to the police to secure the custody of her husband Arichandran and to set him at liberty. 2.The learned Additional Public Prosecutor has produced the undertaking given by the petitioner before the police on 17.08.2011. From the complaint itself, it can be seen that there is no illegal detention of the detenu, as he is elsewhere employed in a foreign country. Thus, we are of the view that no further orders are necessary in this matter, since there is no illegal detention of the detenu and since he is employed in a foreign country. If the petitioner has got any grievance against her husband, she can very well work out her remedy in the manner known to law. 3.In the result, the Habeas Corpus Petition is dismissed.
