This is Habeas Corpus Petition filed on the assertion that the Petitioner had married to one Aisha Faisal Baug nee Shweta Kishore Sharma. Pursuant to order dated 1st December, 2010, the said girl has been produced before us by PSI Mrs.Yewle from Navi Mumbai Police Station. She is accompanied by her parents. It is common ground that she has attained age of majority long back. Presently, she is around 20 years of age. We have interviewed Shweta to ascertain whether she would like to join the company of the Petitioner with whom she allegedly got married on 20th August, 2010, as is noticed from the Marriage Certificate annexed to the Petition. 2 3344.10.sxw 2. Indeed, she has a different version which we need not elaborate in this order. The fact remains that she is not interested in joining the company of Petitioner and this decision has been taken by her on her own. Since Shweta is already major, neither the Petitioner or for that matter, this Court can force Shweta to stay with the Petitioner. She is free to take her own decision. 3. So far as the relief claimed in this Petition is concerned, the same is worked out upon production of Shweta before us. We leave the parties to pursue their own remedies, as may be advised, which will have to be considered on its own merits. 4. Petition disposed of on the above terms. (A.P.BHANGALE, J.)
