Now he came to know that she has actually been in the illegal custody of the third respondent-father against her will. Under such circumstances, it becomes necessary to move this application. 2. After the habeas corpus petition was admitted, notice was ordered to all the respondents. A report was received from the Principal of the said College that she left the services of the College by resigning the post of Lecturer.
