Then, a crime was registered in Cr.No.93 of 2005 under Sections 448 and 365 of IPC, and Police has been searching for the man. Since nobody appears for the petitioner, and the assertions made in the counter-affidavit have also not been controverted, we dispose of these writ petitions with a direction that if the petitioner’s husband is still missing, the Police shall make efforts to find him. --------------------------------- (Bilal Nazki, A.C.J) 27th September, 2005 --------------------------------- (R.Subhash Reddy, J) LUR
