We have heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned A.P.P. for the respondent State. 2. This is a habeas corpus petition. The petitioner is father of one Priyanka aged about 16 years. Case of the petitioner is that the accused i.e respondent nos. 3 to 6 have kidnapped Priyanka. Learned A.P.P. on instructions from Shivaji Shinde, Police Naik attached to Atpadi police station, Sangli states that Priyanka as well as respondent no. 3 Suresh Murlidhar Mahadik have surrendered to Atpadi police station. Priyanka is stated - 2 - to be minor. Since they have surrendered to the police station, law will take its own course. So far as we are concerned, the habeas Corpus petition has worked itself out and is disposed of as infructuous. We do not want to express any opinion on the merits of the case but, since Priyanka is minor, police must consider whether she should be sent to Shelter Home or Remand Home as per law.
