The Petitioner has approached this Court with the grievance that no steps are being taken by the local police officials with regard to the missing complaint filed by him pertaining to his wife Soubhagya Laxmi Nayak @ Alifa Parveen. The learned APP, however, has invited our attention to the statement of the Petitioner recorded by the local police on 18 th October, 2010, which is duly signed by him mentioning the fact that the said missing person was staying with her parents and he has no intention to pursue the complaint. The learned counsel for the Petitioner submits that the Petitioner did not instruct her in this regard. Considering the statement made by the Petitioner before the police, 2 36 wp.3149.10 correctness thereof cannot be doubted, the petition is devoid of merits. The same is disposed of with liberty to the Petitioner to pursue such other remedy as may be permissible in law. [ P.D. KODE, J ] [ A.M. KHANWILKAR, J ]
