THOTTATHIL B.RADHAKRISHNAN & C.T.RAVIKUMAR, JJ. ----------------------------------- W.P(Crl.).No.493 OF 2011 ------------------------------------ Dated this the 2nd day of November, 2011 JUDGMENT Thottathil B.Radhakrishnan,J. The alleged detenue is present. We interacted with her. While the petitioner says that he married the alleged detenue, there is some controversy as to whether there was a valid marriage. We do not want to go into that issue. On interacting with the alleged detenue, we find that she is well oriented. She expressed her clear desire that she is not interested to go with the petitioner. She says that she had not cohabited with him even for a single day and the so-called marriage was mechanised by coercing her. We do not express anything on this aspect either. Having noted that the alleged detenue is a free person and has expressed herself quite freely by her own will, we close this writ petition. WPCR.493/11 2 Having regard to the apprehension expressed by the alleged detenue, it is ordered that the the police will maintain appropriate vigil for her to return home. The police will also ensure that there is no law and order situation even in relation to the petitioner since we are told that a crime is registered. Sd/- THOTTATHIL B.RADHAKRISHNAN, Judge.
