The petitioner – a young man aged 27 years, has come to this Court with this writ petition for issue of a writ of habeas corpus alleging that Ms. Arya S.

Notice was ordered to the respondents. 2. Today, when the matter came up for hearing, the 2nd respondent – the father of the alleged detenue Arya S. Pillai, is present. The alleged detenue is also present. The petitioner is present along with the alleged detenue. Sri. Ratheesh with whom the alleged detenue has got married on 26/6/09 is also present. W.P.(Cri) No.253 of 2009-S -: 2 :- 3. We permitted the alleged detenue to be left alone in the Chamber with access to none until we met her and interacted with her in the Chamber at 1.45 p.m. The alleged detenue Arya S. Pillai asserts that she is not under illegal confinement or detention by any one and that she on her free will and volition has married Sri. Ratheesh on 26/6/09. In response to a specific query put by this Court as to who she would like to go with if permitted to do so, the alleged detenue states that she would like to return with her husband Ratheesh and her father – the 2nd respondent herein. We are, in these circumstances, satisfied that no further directions are necessary in this writ petition. 4. This writ petition is accordingly dismissed. We permit the alleged detenue Arya S. Pillai to leave the Court along with her husband Ratheesh and her father – the 2nd respondent as desired by her. Sd/- R. BASANT (Judge) Sd/- M.C.
