IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CR. WJC No.460 of 2010 ABHISHEK KUMAR Versus STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 3. 1.7.2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner, for the State and for the respondent nos. 6 and 7. The petitioner is the husband of respondent no. 7. He is aggrieved by the fact that his wife, stated to be a major who married him after a love affair on 15.2.2010, went to visit her parents on 27.4.2010 and was not being allowed to return. Learned counsel appearing for respondent nos. 6 and 7 is present and has made submission which we do not consider to take note of at the present, in view of the order to be passed. We are satisfied that since respondent no. 7 is living with her parents, the present proceeding cannot be classified a case of illegal detention of the person contrary to or without authority of law strictly speaking. The matter presents mere of a social phenomena. We are satisfied that in the nature of the controversy the petitioner has an adequate efficacious alternative remedy available under Section 97 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. If the petitioner prefers any application 2 thereunder before the statutory authority, the same is required to be dealt with in the manner prescribed by law, without being influenced or prejudiced by our reluctance to entertain the present proceeding in our writ jurisdiction. The application stands disposed. P. Kumar ( Navin Sinha, J.) (Dinesh Kumar Singh, J.)
