CASE HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 03/04/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: M.N. KRISHNAN, J ----------------------- CRL.M.C.No. 1253 OF 2009 --------------------------------- Dated this the 3rd day of April, 2009 O R D E R This petition is filed to quash Annexure A3 and consequential proceedings. The case appears to be that the petitioner had married the 3rd respondent as per Hindu Customary Rights and they are living together as husband and wife. But the father of the girl had filed a complaint of woman missing and the Additional Sub Inspector of Police, Mattancheri Police Station had issued a notice directing the parties to appear before the police Station and produce the girl on 4.4.2009. I feel nothing is to be done by this Court at this stage if legally they are married. So the parties can appear before the concerned police, give their statement and then the police can act in accordance with law. I make it clear that there should not be any unnecessary harassment of either the petitioner or the 3rd respondent at the instance of somebody. The police has to adopt a realistic approach and proceed in accordance with law. The Crl.M.C is disposed of accordingly. M.N. KRISHNAN, JUDGE vkm
