Jadhav, A.P.P. for respondent Nos.1 to 3. ..... CORAM: S.B. DESHMUKH & S.S. SHINDE, JJ. DATED: 28TH JULY, 2010 PER COURT:- 1 We heard learned counsel Mr. N.R. Jamdhade (appointed) for the petitioner. 2 Learned A.P.P. Mr. Jadhav, presented affidavit in reply on behalf of respondent No.3, which is affirmed by Mr. Ganpat Bhika Rathod, Police Head Constable, Buckle No. 249, Police Station Badnapur, District Jalna. In para 7 of the said reply, a statement is made that affaint had visited the house of the petitioner lady and recorded her statement as 2 also the statement of her father. Visit of the affaint was for seeking photographs of Mr. Narayan, for whom writ of habeas corpus is sought for by the present petitioner. After interaction and recording of statements of the petitioner and her father, the affaint perceived that the petitioner had married with a person viz. Waman Walaji Deokar, 30 years old, R/o. Andera, Tq. Chikhali, District Buldhana, in the month of January, 2010. 3 A communication was received by the Registry of this court somewhere on 9.9.2009. It appears that the said communication (page 8) is addressed to this Court by Latabai w/o Narayan Kanhule, R/o. Rammurti, Tq. and District Jalna. The grievance raised in this communication is missing of husband of Latabai viz. Narayan Gangadhar Kanhule. The grievance is raised against her in-laws. She had suspected that her husband Narayan must have been done away by in-laws. The said communication was directed to be registered as writ petition and thus the Registry has registered the said communication as Criminal Writ petition No. 571 of 2010. This court by order dated 22.6.2010 had accordingly appointed Mr. N.R. Jamdhade to represent the cause of the present petitioner. Mr. Jamdhade, learned counsel has accordingly produced on record copy of formal memo of petition. 4 We have noticed further developments clarified by the learned 3 A.P.P. In the affidavit in reply. In this view of the matter, it is clear that Latabai, the petitioner had married in the month of January 2010 with one Waman Walaji Deokar. Now there is no propriety in keeping this petition pending. 5 Writ petition stands disposed of. We make it clear that we had not expressed any opinion in relation to alleged missing of Mr. Narayan Gangadhar Kanhule. 6 We quantify an amount of Rs.2000/- towards the legal fees and expenses to be paid to learned counsel Mr. N.R. Jamdhade, appointed by us to represent the cause of the petitioner. ( S. S. SHINDE. J.) (S.B. DESHMUKH, J.) rlj/
