For Petitioner :Mr.K.S.Duraipandian For Respondents :Mr.P.N.Pandithurai, 1 & 2 Addl.Public.Pleader. O R D E R (Order of the Court was made by S.RAJESWARAN,J) The petitioner has filed this petition to trace her daughter by name Shobana, who is aged about 21 years of age. Since she has been missing from 06.12.2010, a complaint was given to the 2nd respondent Police and as no further information was given to the petitioner, the above petition has been filed. 2.On notice, the 2nd respondent police has produced the detenue, along with the 3rd respondent by name Vijayamoorthy. Though the petitioner is not present, we interviewed the detenue Shobana and the 3rd respondent Vijayamoorthy, who is said to have married Shobana during December, 2010. The girl is said to be happily living with Vijayamoorthy at Tambaram, Chennai, and she does not want to go with the petitioner and she would like to continue to live with the 3rd respondent only. The 3rd respondent, who is said to be working as a driver in a private concern at https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/ 2 Chennai, stated that he is also happily living with the detenue, who is his wife. He also assured that he would keep his wife Shobana well. The said statement is recorded. 3.Since it is a case of a major girl selecting a life of her own by marrying the third respondent and said to be living happily with him, the contention of the petitioner that the detenue/her daughter is under illegal custody of the third respondent is liable to be rejected. 4.In view of the above, the habeas corpus petition is closed as no further order needs to be passed. sd/- Assistant Registrar (C.O) /True Copy/ Sub Assistant Registrar (C.S) To: 1.The Superintendent of Police, Office of the Superintendent of Police, Pudukkottai District, Pudukkottai. 2.The Inspector of Police, Tirukokarnam Police Station, Pudukkottai District. 3.The Additional Public Prosecutor, Madurai Bench of Madras High Court, Madurai.
