GOPAL REDDY AND HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE R. KANTHA RAO WRIT PETITON No.29092 of 2011 ORDER: (per the Hon’ble Sri Justice A.Gopal Reddy) Petitioner, claiming to be the husband of S.Ummehani, daughter of Younus Basha, filed the present writ petition for issuance of a writ of Habeas Corpus contending that he developed intimacy with the alleged detenue viz., S.Ummehani in the year 2006, got married her on 13.05.2011 and thereafter apprehending fear from the parents of the girl, they approached the Superintendent of Police, Anantapur for protection. At the advise of the Superintendent of Police, they went to the house of the petitioner and after reaching the house the petitioner’s parents agreed for a reception, which was taken place on 19.05.2011 in Kurnool and since then they resided together. When the petitioner left the alleged detenue at the bus stop for going to the college, she did not return and since then she is under illegal confinement of her parents. Today, the alleged detenue has been produced before this court. When she was examined in the open court, she stated that she herself voluntarily left to her parent’s house; that she has not been illegally detained as alleged by the petitioner; and that she is not willing to join the company of the petitioner. Since the alleged detenue being a major, aged about 22 years, she can lead her own life. When she is not willing to join the company of the petitioner and she has not been in the illegal detention of her parents as alleged by the petitioner, issuance of a writ of Habeas Corpus does not arise. The Writ Petition is, accordingly, dismissed. However, the petitioner is at liberty to avail the remedies available to him. There shall be no order as to costs. ______________________ A.
