The petitioner is the husband of one Sudha, aged 25 years. She has been found missing from 29.11.2009 onwards. In this regard, the petitioner preferred a complaint on 08.01.2010, i.e., after a delay of 40 days. Based on the same, the second respondent has registered a case in Crime No.33 of 2010 and the same is under investigation. According to the petitioner, she has been illegally detained by the respondents 3 and 4. 2.The second respondent has filed a Status Report before this Court, wherein he has stated that the third respondent was arrested and remanded to custody and he was also interrogated. But the third respondent had not given any useful information about the whereabouts of the detenue. However, it is stated that investigation is in progress in Crime No.33 of 2010 and all out efforts are being made to find out the whereabouts of the detenue. The said statement is recorded. 3.Since there is no illegal detention and it appears to be a case of only elopement or mere missing, we are of the view that no further orders are necessary in this Habeas Corpus Petition at this stage. Therefore, the https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/ 2 Habeas Corpus Petition is closed, however, with a direction to the second respondent to continue the investigation expeditiously and to keep the petitioner informed of the progress, if the detenue is found.
