The petitioner's daughter Sandeep Kaur eloped with one Bhupinder Singh alias Bhindi. On the statement of the petitioner, aforesaid FIR was registered against Bhupinder Singh alias Bhindi. 3. Contention of learned counsel for the petitioner is that despite the FIR having been registered, the Police is not taking any action against Bhupinder Singh alias Bhindi. 4. It is pertinent to mention here that daughter of the petitioner and Bhupinder Singh alias Bhindi knocked the door of this Court and sought Police protection against their parents. This Court by order dated July 27th, 2011 directed the Senior Superintendent of Police, Kapurthala to look into their representation and proceed further in accordance with law. 5. The conduct of daughter of the petitioner prima- facie shows that she left her mother's company knowing and having capacity to know the full import of what she was doing. In such a Criminal Misc. No. M-24728 of 2011 (O&M) 2 situation, it cannot be said that the accused has taken her away from the keeping of her lawful guardian. Rather, she willingly left her parents. Hence, no case whatsoever of kidnapping is made out. Thus, the petition is dismissed. 6. It is recorded for the sake of clarity that the observation made here-in-above is only for the limited purpose of disposing of this petition and shall not be construed as expression of opinion on the merit of the case.
