Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that respondent no.4 is his legally wedded wife, and respondent nos. 5 and 6, her parents, have illegally confined her in their house and do not allow her to go to her matrimonial home. He, therefore, submits that she may be directed to be released to join him in his matrimonial home. On the other hand, learned counsel for respondent nos. 4 to 6 submits that the petitioner has severely ill-treated respondent no.4, and in such a situation it is not possible for her to go to her matrimonial home. It thus, prima facie, appears that 2 respondent no.4 is with her parents and we therefore, find no case of illegal confinement. We do not find any ground for interference in this matter. It goes without saying that it will be open to the petitioner to approach the court of competent jurisdiction for redressal of his grievances in accordance with law. This writ petition is dismissed.
