According to the petitioner, the detenue was missing from 26.6.2011 onwards and after making a thorough search, he lodged a complaint with the respondent police on 27.6.2011. Inspite of sincere efforts taken by them, they could not trace out the detenue. Therefore, the petitioner has come forward with this Habeas Corpus Petition for a direction to the respondents to produce the detenue before this Court and to set her at liberty. 2. Today, the detenue and the third respondent appeared in person before us. We enquired the detenue. She categorically stated that she is a major; she got married to the third respondent whom she loved for more than four years and she expressed her willingness to go with her husband/the third respondent herein and she stated that she is not willing to go with her parents. https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/ 2 3.
