This petition has been filed by the father to search the detenue, his daughter X.Juliyat Diana, aged about 21 years. She is a Diploma holder in Teacher Education and she was working as a teacher with Prasithi Vidyothaya Matriculation Higher Secondary School at Dindigul. From 22.03.2011, she has been missing. The search made by him to trace her daughter is in vain. On 22.03.2011 at 9.00 p.m, he received a phone call from the third respondent that his daughter is in his custody and immediately, the phone was disconnected. Therefore, a complaint was given against the 3rd respondent to the respondent Police. Since no action has been taken, the above petition has been filed. 2.The learned Additional Public Prosecutor, on instruction, would submit that the detenue, the daughter of the petitioner, is married to the 3rd respondent, who is working in BSF, Delhi. Further more, both of them filed a petition before the Principal Bench of this Court in Crl.O.P.No.7802 of 2011 and sought for a direction not to harass them. They had also appeared before the Court and disclosed their marriage and pleaded for protection from her parents. The Court has recorded the same and closed the petition. https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/ 2 3.We also find a letter written by the detenue to the Inspector of Police reiterating these facts. Therefore, we find that the detenue, being the major, gone out and married and presently living with the 3rd respondent, there is no illegal detention as alleged by the petitioner. Therefore, this petition is closed, as no further order needs to be passed. The petitioner is permitted to peruse the records available with the learned Additional Public Prosecutor, for his satisfaction. No costs.
