While the petitioner alleges that the alleged detenue is under illegal detention, she has appeared before us along with her father. We spoke to her and found that she is well oriented. There is no ground to treat that she is under illegal detention. She says that she is now employed and that she had attended office even on the previous working day and had taken leave for this day to come here. She says that she knew the petitioner who was studying with her and there was no affair between them beyond the realm of normal friendship among classmates. At any rate, she has no intention to marry the petitioner. She also says candidly that her marriage is settled with another person. We do not find any ground to issue any order in this matter since we are satisfied that she is a free person. We, accordingly, dismiss this writ petition. Sd/- THOTTATHIL B.
