Respondents Mr.S.S.Kazi, Advocate for petitioner Mr.S.D.Kaldate, A.P.P. for respondents 1 and 2 Mr.A.M.Gholap, Advocate for respondents 3, 4 and 5 CORAM : P.V. HARDAS AND SHRIHARI P. DAVARE, JJ DATE : 27th January 2010 PER COURT : 1. This is a petition under Article 226 of the Constitution of India for issuance of a writ of habeas corpus for production of one Bhavna d/o Ravindar Kumar Sethia who has been detained against her will by her parents. 2. When this petition was listed before us, we had ordered the issuance of notice by our order dated 19.1.2010. The endorsement of the Registry shows that the report in respect of services of notices has not been received. However, Shri A.M.Gholap, learned Counsel states that the notices had been received by respondents 3, 4 and 5 and he has been instructed to appear on behalf of the said respondents. It is also stated before us that the detenu i.e. Miss Bhavna is present in the Court. 2 The aforesaid detenu is identified by Shri A.M.Gholap. Upon such identification of the detenu by the learned Counsel representing respondents 3, 4 and 5, we have recorded the statement of Miss Bhavna on oath. As per the statement of Bhavna, she has not been detained by her parents against her will. Since the detention is neither illegal nor she has been detained against her will, there is no merit in the habeas corpus petition and the petition is, therefore, summarily dismissed with no order as to costs.
