Petitioner is the father of Ms. Riya, born on 18.4.1986. She has completed her B.Com. Degree. It is alleged that on 2.1.2008 Riya disappeared from the business premises of the petitioner and since she did not return within a reasonable time, he filed a complaint before the police. Petitioner apprehends that the 5th respondent has a role behind the disappearance of Riya and therefore, it is suspected that she is under the illegal custody of Respondent No.5. 2. Pursuant to the notice issued, Riya appeared before us. We have interacted with her. She told us that she is a major, that she has married the 5th respondent on her own will and wish, that since both of them belonged to different religions notice under the Special Marriage Act has been issued, that the father of the 5th respondent has no objection in the 5th respondent marrying her and that she is not under the illegal custody of the 5th respondent as alleged in the writ petition. 3. We have interacted with the 5th respondent who has stated that WP(CRL) 12/2008 :2: the alleged detenue Ms. Riya is his wife. We enabled the petitioner -father as well as the mother of the alleged detenue to interact with her for a reasonable time and thereafter, the case was taken up and again we interacted with the detenue. But she stated that she wants to go along with the 5th respondent. In these circumstances and since Riya is a major, she is set free. This writ petition is closed. P.R. RAMAN, (JUDGE) V. K.
