It is also alleged that the detenue is under the illegal custody of respondents 3 and 4. The petitioner made a complaint in this regard to the second respondent- Police.

Since the detenue being a major, has expressed her unwillingness to go along with her paternal uncle/the petitioner herein, and that she is not under the illegal custody of anyone much less the respondents 3 and 4, recording her statement, the Habeas Corpus Petition is closed as nothing further remains to be considered.
