BHOSALE, JJ. D. B. BHOSALE, JJ. DATED:-18/4/2007 P.C.:- In this petition the petitioner’s case inter alia is that the 3rd respondent is his wife and she is illegally detained by her parents. Pursuant to the notice given by the petitioner, the 3rd respondent is present in the court today. Her parents are also present in the court. Today, we have interviewed 3rd respondent and her parents in our chamber. The 3rd respondent categorically told us that she does not want to stay with the petitioner. MSS : 2 : She stated that she wants to continue to stay with her parents. There is no doubt about the fact that she is a major and, therefore, she can continue to stay with her parents as desired by her. The prayer seeking a writ of habeas corpus , therefore, does not survive because it cannot be said that 3rd respondent is illegally detained by her parents. So far as other prayers regarding quashing of the complaint is concerned, the petitioner may, if he is so advised file an independent petition for that relief or adopt any other appropriate remedy. Petition is disposed of. JUDGE. JUDGE.
