Justice T.Meena Kumari) This Writ Petition is taken up basing on the letter addressed by the petitioner stating that on 27.01.2006 her daughter M.Sravani was taken away by one Singampalli Nityajeevinaidu, a religious head, with false promises and under the guise of religion; that as the whereabouts of her daughter were not known, she reported the matter to VII Town police station, Vijayawada, but the police are supporting the religious head and not taking proper steps to trace her daughter. The first respondent filed counter affidavit stating that when police officials approached the said Sravani, she refused to attend the Hon’ble Court and that she prefers staying at Hahoddu Yrusalam situated at Palakole, West Godavari district to joining her parents.
