THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE A.GOPAL REDDY and THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO WRIT PETITION No.9787 of 2011 ORDER: (Per Hon’ble Sri Justice A.Gopal Reddy) The husband of the alleged detenue-Reddisetti Alekya filed the present writ petition for issuance of writ of Habeas Corpus contending that he and the alleged detenue loved each other and intended to marry. Accordingly, they placed the proposal before the third respondent-father of the alleged detenue and other family members, but the third respondent bluntly refused the said proposal, since he (petitioner) belongs to Kamma Caste and the alleged detenue belongs to Vysya Community. Hence, the alleged detenue left her parents’ house and both of them married on 21.03.2011 at Sri Vijaya Durga Devastanam, Deeptisri Nagar Colony, Miyapur, Hyderabad. After the marriage, the third respondent started harassing the petitioner by using his influence. Unable to bear the said harassment, the petitioner attempted to commit suicide and as such he was admitted in Hospital. Taking advantage of the same, the third respondent and his brother along with antisocial elements forcibly took the alleged detenue on 23.03.2011 and since then she is in their illegal custody. The second respondent filed a counter-affidavit affirming the averments made by the petitioner with regard to the marriage of the petitioner with the alleged detenue. Today, the alleged detenue has been produced before this Court by the Police. When this Court examined, the alleged detenue stated that she has been illegally confined by her parents and she is willing to go along with her husband. She also stated that her date of birth is 29.08.1988 and she is major. Since the alleged detenue is a major and willing to go along with her husband-petitioner herein, she is set at liberty handing over her custody to her husband and the Police are directed to leave the alleged detenue at the place of her husband. The writ petition is accordingly allowed. _________________ A.GOPAL REDDY, J ________________ RAJA ELANGO, J Dt.25.04.2011 va
