IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH CRWP- No.2583 of 2010 Date of decision:27.12.2010 Sarwan Singh ...Petitioner Versus State of Punjab and others ...Respondents CORAM: Hon'ble Mr. Justice Rakesh Kumar Jain Present: Mr. Rajinder Kumar Singla, Advocate, for the petitioner. ***** RAKESH KUMAR JAIN, J. (ORAL) This is a criminal writ petition filed by Sarwan Singh seeking a writ of habeas corpus on the allegation that his daughter namely Piaro is in illegal custody of Raju son of Mala Ram who has been given active support by Giano D/o Mala Ram and Jagtar Singh alias Tari S/o Sewa Singh. Per chance, when this case was being heard, CRM No.M-38431 of 2010 also came up before this Court in which the alleged detenue namely Piaro D/o Sarwan Singh appeared before the Court along with Balraj S/o Malla Ram for the purpose of seeking protection on the pretext that they have got married against the wishes of the father of the girl. Since in that case Piaro had disclosed her intention to live with her father as she has stated that she has been forcibly taken up by her alleged husband, the present writ petition for habeas corpus has become infructuous as the girl has been traced and her custody is handed over to the petitioner Sarwan Singh. In view thereof, the present writ petition is dismissed being infructuous. December 27, 2010 (RAKESH KUMAR JAIN) vinod* JUDGE
