The petitioner suspects that her daughter is in illegal custody of 4th respondent and alleges that she informed her over telephone that she is apprehending danger to her life at the hands of 4th respondent who is not sending her back, therefore she moved the present writ petition. Pursuant to orders of this Court dated 7.3.2011, today the writ petitioner, alleged detenu along with her husband are present in person before this Court. We have examined the alleged detenu and recorded her statement, which reads as under; “My name is Gajula Usha D/o Late Dhanumjayudu, aged about 23 years, do hereby sworn and state as follows on my own accord. I had completed my B.Tech (Computer Engineering) course at Nishita College of Engineering, Hyderabad and thereafter joined ACE Academy, Hyderabad for getting GATE examination coaching. When I was pursuing my B Tech course, in the year 2007, I came in contact with one Mr.Ashwin Kumar S/o Sri Valluri Anup Kumar presently residing at Flat No.6, Block No. 31, MIG-2, Baghlingampalli, Hyderabad and I fell in love with him. My mother dislike our love and was not accepting our marriage but ultimately I persuaded her for our marriage and though she accepted for our marriage, she started searching some alliances for me, hence, I got married Mr Ashwin Kumar on 8.12.2008 at Arya Samaj, Dhruv Pet, Hyderabad and a certificate to that effect was also issued by Arya Samaj. I am presently living with my husband Mr Ashwin Kumar and not willing to join my mother. I state that I left the house voluntarily and presently living with my husband Mr Ashwin Kumar at Baghlingampalli.” Having regard to the fact that the alleged detenu is major, got married to Mr Ashwin Kumar and willing to stay with her husband, we are of the considered opinion that she is not in the illegal custody of 4th respondent. Being a major she is entitled to choose her way of life. In view of the above, the writ petition fails and accordingly dismissed. No costs. ________________ V ESWARAIAH,J ____________________ V SURI APPA RAO,J DATE: 9.3.2011 TVK THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE V ESWARAIAH THE HON’BLE MR JUSTICE V SURI APPA RAO Writ Petition No. 4681 of 2011 DT.9.3.2011
