The petitioner alleging that her daughter, Pravitha, is under illegal custody of the first respondent, has filed this habeas corpus petition for production of the corpus of the said detenue and to release her. Earlier, at the instance of the father of the detenue, a writ petition was filed as W.P.(Crl).No.226/2008 before this Court. Pursuant to the notice issued, parties appeared and after interacting with the parties and after considering the facts and circumstances, we have rendered the judgment, Ext.P1, holding that the alleged detenue is not under illegal custody and she is already a major and so she was let free. In such circumstances, a further writ petition at the instance of the mother cannot be entertained. Hence, the writ petition is dismissed. P.R.RAMAN, Judge T.R.RAMACHANDRAN NAIR, Judge ms
