Alleging that the petitioner's husband Salam and his friend Praveen are illegally detained by respondents 2 and 3, this Writ Petition of Habeaus Corpus is filed for a direction to search and produce the bodies of Salam and Praveen and to order their release from the custody of respondents 2 and 3. 2. The learned Government Pleader on instruction submits today that Salam and Praveen were arrested in connection with Crime No.98 of 2007 of Panangad Police Station on 17.8.2007. But, according to learned counsel for the petitioner, they were taken into custody on 12.8.2007, but the arrest was recorded only on the date on which the Writ Petition was filed. This is being a Habeaus Corpus petition, we cannot possibly go into the merits of these contentions. However, it is left open to raise these contentions before the Magistrate's Court. The Writ Petition is closed. P.R.RAMAN, JUDGE K.HEMA, JUDGE vgs.
