RADHAKRISHNAN & C.T.RAVIKUMAR, JJ. ---------------------------------------- W.P(Crl.).No.541 OF 2011 ---------------------------------------- Dated this the 29th day of November, 2011 JUDGMENT Thottathil B.Radhakrishnan, J. The petitioner filed this writ petition on 23.11.2011 alleging that his daughter is illegally detained by respondents 1 to 3. The alleged detenue is present before us. The first respondent has filed a counter affidavit. We see from the materials that it may be true that the alleged detenue left the petitioner's home on 19.11.2011. Ext.R1(b) shows that whatever little gold ornaments the girl had was received by the petitioner, her father, at 8.45 p.m. on 20.11.2011 through the intervention of the local grama panchayat members. He has issued Ext.R1(b) receipt for it. We enquired him personally about it. He owns having issued the original of Ext.R1(b). If that were so, he should have disclosed it WPCR.541/11 2 in the writ petition which he filed on 23.11.2011. The first respondent and the girl say that they have married on 21.11.2011. Having interacted with the alleged detenue, she is seen well oriented and not under any illegal detention. We, accordingly, close this writ petition. Sd/- THOTTATHIL B.
