D.B. HABEAS CORPUS PETITION NO.5568/2010 (Kamlesh Vs. State of Rajasthan & Ors.) .... Dated :: 13th August 2010. HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE DINESH MAHESHWARI HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE C.M.TOTLA (In camera) Mr.Pradeep Choudhary for the petitioner Mr.K.R.Bishnoi, Govt. Counsel Mr.Dharmendra Surana for the respondent No.4 In this habeas corpus petition, the petitioner alleged that he has contacted marriage with the daughter of the respondent No.4 but she has been illegally detained by the respondent No.4. After having issued notices in this case, reply was submitted on behalf of the respondents and so also an affidavit, said to have been sworn by the alleged detenue Ms. Santosh. On 09.08.2010, the counsel appearing for the respondent No.4 submitted that alleged detenue was none else but the daughter of the respondent No.4 and was living with him only and further submitted that the daughter of respondent No.4 shall remain present before the Court on the next date. Having noted such submissions, we posted the matter today. Today, the matter was taken at 2 O' clock when the petitioner, respondent No.4 and so also the alleged detenue Ms. Santosh appeared. -2- The proceedings were taken up in camera and in these proceedings, after having talked to the petitioner, the girl and her parents, we considered it proper to provide the girl some time to think over before making statement and she was permitted to sit independently without any interference in vacant Court Room No.10. We have taken up the matter again at 4:30 p.m. Ms. Santosh is present before us and states that she has, of course, not been forcibly detained by her parents but then, after pointing towards the petitioner Kamlesh, she states that he is her husband with whom she has contacted marriage and that she wants to go with him. Ms. Santosh is admittedly major, in about 24 years of age. For the wish expressed by her, we have nothing more to say except to set her at liberty to go wherever she wants to. She again expressed that she wants to go with the petitioner. Nothing further survives for consideration in this habeas corpus petition. Learned Government Counsel submits that Mr.Manoj Choudhary, Circle Officer,Central City, Jodhpur is present in Court in relation to this case who shall ensure that Ms. Santosh conveniently reaches the place where she wants to. The habeas corpus petition stands disposed of accordingly. MK (C.M.TOTLA),J. (DINESH MAHESHWARI),J.
