In this connection, a complaint was preferred and a case had been registered in Crime No.144 of 2011 for “woman missing”, on the file of the second respondent-Police and the matter is being investigated. Since the detenue has not been secured by the police, these two Habeas Corpus Petitions have been filed before this Court to secure her and to set her at liberty. 2.The learned Additional Public Prosecutor would submit that as per the investigation, lastly, according to one Auto Driver, the detenue travelled from Palaniandavar Lodge at Rameswaram to the Railway Station and after that, her whereabouts are not known. However, according to the learned Additional Public Prosecutor, the investigation is taken in the right direction and all efforts are taken to secure the missing woman. His statement is recorded. 3.Since there are no materials to show that the detenue is detained illegally by anyone and since the investigation is also taken in the right direction, and in view of the submission made by the learned Additional Public Prosecutor that all efforts are taken to secure the missing woman, we are of the considered view that no further orders are necessary in these Habeas Corpus Petitions. 4.Therefore, the Habeas Corpus Petitions are disposed of with a direction to the second respondent in these Habeas Corpus Petitions, viz.
