THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE V.ESWARAIAH and THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE G.KRISHNA MOHAN REDDY W.P.No.12383 of 2011 ORDER: (per the Hon’ble Sri Justice V. Eswaraiah) The petitioner is the natural father of the alleged detenu Chintapalli Alekya, who admittedly was born on 29-07-1993. The petitioner filed this writ of Habeas Corpus seeking to give a direction to the respondents 1 and 2 herein to produce his daughter alleged to have been detained in the 5th respondent-Pragathi Charitable Trust, Andhra University, Visakhapatnam, and set her at liberty forthwith. This writ petition was filed on 26-04-2011 when the alleged detenu was minor. This Court by order, dated 27-04-2011, directed the 2nd respondent to produce the alleged detenu detained in the Pragathi Charitable Trust, on 30-04-2011. According to the respondents 3 and 4 as their daughter died, they developed love and affection towards Alekya and have been treating her as their own daughter. The respondents 3 and 4 are the owners of the house, where the petitioner is residing. On 30-04-2011, the alleged detenu was produced before this Court and this Court examined her and passed an order directing the petitioner to take custody of the alleged detenu, and also directed the 2nd respondent to depute any responsible police officer to enquire about the welfare and well being of the alleged detenu twice in a week. Thereafter, the alleged detenu was again produced before this Court on 06-06-2011 and this Court examined her and as she desired to go back to the 5th respondent, this Court directed the 2nd respondent to leave the girl in Pragathi Charitable Trust and also observed that the natural parents as well as the respondents 3 and 4 would be at liberty to take care of her studies and expenses and they also were permitted to visit the girl at Pragathi Charitable Trust directing the Trust to permit them to see the girl as per the Rules of the Trust. Today, the petitioner, the 3rd respondent and Alekya have appeared before this Court and we have examined all of them. Alekya has expressed her intention that she would stay for some more time at Pragathi Charitable Trust and prosecute her further studies and now that she became major and she will not loose the love and affection of her natural parents as well as the respondents 3 and 4. She also has expressed that on holidays she would go to the house of the petitioner and would meet both the natural parents as well as the respondents 3 and 4 to get their love and affection. She also has stated that she would make every attempt to get love and affection of the natural parents as well as respondents 3 and 4. Now, the girl has become major and she is in a position to understand the situation. Therefore, keeping in view the welfare and well being of the girl, as she would like to have the love and affection of both the natural parents as well as the respondents 3 and 4, we close this writ petition, as no further orders are required to be passed in this writ petition. However, if Alekya desires to stay for some more time at Pragathi Charitable Trust, both the petitioner as well as the respondents 3 and 4 are at liberty to contribute her expenses and that the Pragathi Charitable Trust is directed to consider the desire of Alkeya. There shall be no order as to costs. ________________ V.ESWARAIAH, J ____________________________ G.KRISHNA MOHAN REDDY, J Date : 03-08-2011 Prv
