This judgment must be read in continuation of the order dt.5.10.2010. 2. Learned counsel for the petitioner today submits that this is a case where the husband of the petitioner is missing and the petitioner is unable to assert that he is under any illegal detention or confinement. We do not, in these circumstances, find any justifiable reason to invoke our extraordinary constitutional jurisdiction under Article 226 to issue a writ of Habeas Corpus. 3. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that this Writ Petition may now be dismissed without any prejudice to the right of the petitioner to move an appropriate application later under W.P.(Crl).No. 389 of 2010 2 Section 482 Cr.P.C. or under Article 226 of the Constitution complaining about the inadequate investigation on the part of the Investigating Officer. 4. We accept the request. This Writ Petition is accordingly dismissed, subject to the above observations. (R.BASANT) Judge (M.L. JOSEPH FRANCIS) Judge tm
