IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CR. WJC No.962 of 2010 PAWAN KUMAR Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 02. 15.09.2010 The habeas corpus petition has been filed by the petitioner for directing the respondents 5 and 6 to release his wife from illegal custody of respondent no. 8. Petitioner’s submission is that her legally wedded wife and son has been kept in illegal confinement of respondent nos. 5 to 7 and not being allowed to come and live with him. Considering the facts of the present case, we find that this habeas corpus petition filed by the petitioner is not maintainable. In case the legally wedded wife of the petitioner is not coming and discharging her marital obligation of living with the petitioner, his remedy lies in filing a proper petition of restitution of conjugal rights. The present forum opted by the petitioner is not the correct forum and the application is not maintainable, as such dismissed. SKM (Mridula Mishra, J.) (Dharnidhar Jha, J.)
