THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE V. ESWARAIAH AND THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE VILAS V. AFZULPURKAR TAKEN UP WP.No.9847 OF 2009 ORDER: (per Hon’ble Sri Justice Vilas V. Afzulpurkar) A letter dated Nil sent by the petitioner to the Honourable the Chief Justice, alleging that continuous illegal detention of his son and daughter-in- law by the police of I Town Police Station, Vijayawada, is registered as a taken up writ petition. It is alleged by the petitioner that his son and daughter-in-law are in illegal custody since 19.04.2009 at the instance of the parents of the daughter-in-law. 2. On 06.05.2009, this Court granted week’s time to the learned Advocate General to get instructions. Today when the matter is taken up, the learned Advocate General filed counter affidavit of the first respondent. 3. We have heard the learned Advocate General. 4. It is alleged that on 21.04.2009 the I Town Police arrested the alleged detenu at 21.00 Hrs at their residence and sent the alleged detenu and the victim girl to medical examination where the Doctor certified that the victim girl is aged 16 years and is minor. The alleged detenu was, however, produced before the Honuorable Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Court, Vijayawada on 22.04.2009 and was remanded to judicial custody. It is alleged that the detenu has since been enlarged on regular bail on 27.04.2009. The allegation of any humiliation to the detenu was denied and it was also denied that there was any illegal custody of the victim girl and the detenu. So far as the victim girl is concerned, it is alleged that on 21.04.2009 the complainant has brought his daughter to the police station but returned back home. Counter affidavit, further, states that the alleged detenu and the victim girl ran away and said to have got married on 15.04.2009. However, the said aspects are not relevant for the purpose of the present case. In view of the fact that the alleged detenu is enlarged on bail by the orders of the learned Magistrate, as referred to above, this writ petition does not survive and is accordingly dismissed. ______________ V.
