According to him, the marriage between the petitioner and the detenue was solemnised, on 10.09.2008. After the said marriage, leaving his wife at the hands of his mother-in-law, he went to Singapore on account of his employment. Thereafter, he came to India and again, he left for Orissa on account of his job. Now, after returning to his native place, he wanted to join with his wife. At that time, he has come to know that arrangements are being made to give her in marriage to someone else. Thus, according to the petitioner, his wife has been illegally detained by her mother and being compelled for marriage. With these allegations, the petitioner has come up with this petition. 2. We have heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Additional Public Prosecutor takes notice for the respondents. https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/ 2 3. From the allegations made in the affidavit, we do not find any ground, even prima facie to hold that there has been any illegal detention of the wife of the petitioner by anybody including his mother- in-law. It is his own case that the petitioner himself left his wife with his mother-in-law on account of his employment. Thus, we do not find any ground to issue a Writ of Habeas Corpus as prayed for, since there is no illegal detention at the hands of anybody. In such view of the matter, this petition is dismissed.
