According to the petitioner, he married the detenue on 8.11.2010 and after marriage, they started their marital life in his house. In view of the request for a dinner, on 2.2.2011, both of them went to the detenue's aunt's house and after completing the lunch, the petitioner and the detenue came to Karur Bus Stand to return home. The petitioner went to attend nature's call. At that time, he found the detenue missing. He searched for the detenue in and around the place. He gave a complaint before the respondent police but in vain. He suspects that the respondents 3 to 6 would have taken the detenue and she would be kept under illegal confinement of the respondents 3 to 6. Hence, he has filed the present Habeas Corpus Petition. https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/ 2 3. Today, the detenue appeared in person and she has stated that she was given in marriage to the petitioner by her parents and she is not willing to live with the petitioner, who is aged about 38 years, and according to the detenue, she is only 20 years old and at present, she is residing in Chennai working in a Stationery Shop. So, she expressed her unwillingness to go with the husband/the petitioner herein. The statement of the detenue is recorded. 4. In view of the above fact, since the detenue is a major and she is not under illegal custody of any one, the Habeas Corpus Petition deserves to be closed as nothing survives for consideration and accordingly, the same is closed. asvm Sd/- Deputy Registrar[Writs] /True copy/ Sub Assistant Registrar To 1.The Superintendent of Police, Karur District, Thanthonrimalai, Karur. 2.The Inspector of Police, Karur Town Police Station, Karur. 3.The Additional Public Prosecutor, Madurai Bench of Madras High Court, Madurai.
