1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE FOR RAJASTHAN AT JODHPUR J U D G M E N T D.B. HABEAS CORPUS PETITION NO.922/2010 (Jagdish Vs. State & Ors.) Date of Judgment : 26.02.2010 P R E S E N T HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE A.M. KAPADIA HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE GOPAL KRISHAN VYAS Mr. A.R. Nikub, Govt. Counsel. Yesterday, the matter was listed in the Court upon the permission sought by Mr. D.S. Gharsana, learned counsel appearing on behalf of respondent No.4. Upon listing the matter, learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner made a request that the case may be adjourned for tomorrow because he is calling the petitioner from Bikaner. Today, the corpus is present with her husband - respondent No.4 Sandeep Singh S/o Chandan Singh, so also father and mother of corpus are also present in person before the Court. We have ascertained the wish of corpus. It is stated by her that she got married with respondent No.4 – Sandeep Singh with her consent. We have also provided her opportunity 2 to meet with her parents but she refused to meet with them. The corpus herself stated before us that she is more than 18 years of age, so also from the document Annexure-4 issued by District Supply Officer, Bikaner, the age of corpus Kanta was shown 12 years as on 01.07.2002, therefore, obviously in the year 2010, she has become major. Therefore, from the documentary evidence produced produced before us by respondent No.4, it is clear that corpus is major (sui-juris). In this view of the matter, we are of the opinion that the corpus is not in illegal detention and she is living with her husband in her in-laws house on her volition. Therefore, no case is made out for interference. The corpus is free to go with her husband. It is made clear that Govt. Counsel shall ensure the security of the corpus who is present before this Court. The police authorities are directed to provide security to the corpus upto Pali District. Hence, this habeas corpus petition is dismissed. (GOPAL KRISHAN VYAS), J (A.M. KAPADIA), J arun
