KURIAN JOSEPH & K.T.SANKARAN, JJ. ---------------------------------------------- W.P.(Crl) No.281/08 & W.P.(C) No.24122/08 ---------------------------------------------- Dated 30th September, 2008. J U D G M E N T Kurian Joseph, J. The former writ petition is for a writ of Habeas Corpus and the latter, for police protection as well as against police harassment. As far as the former is concerned, we see from the orders of this court dated 19.8.2008 and 2.9.2008 that the detenue Lakshmi, daughter of the petitioner had already been produced before this court and she, in her own volition is now living with the parents. It is also seen from the order dated 2.9.2008 that she had a change in her attitude as far as her connection with the 5th respondent is concerned and that she had decided to continue her studies. In that view of the matter, nothing survives in W.P.(Crl) 281/2008. It is hence dismissed in view of the interim orders referred to above. As far as the latter writ petition is concerned, in view of the development we have referred to above regarding the change in the attitude of the first petitioner, there is no need for WP(Crl) No.281/08 & connected case 2 any police protection. There shall be no harassment by the parties and the police. Sri.Shiju Kumar shall return the SSLC Book, copy of the marriage certificate and identity card of Lakshmi, to the respondent Commissioner of Police, Thiruvananthapuram, within a week and the said respondent shall hand over the same to Lakshmi. Therefore, the said writ petition is also dismissed. KURIAN JOSEPH, JUDGE.
