According to the petitioner-Shaju Sherief, he married the daughter of the 7th respondent and their marriage was performed under the Special Marriages Act on 3rd March, 2008. She is alleged to be under the illegal custody of the 7th respondent, the father of the alleged detenue. The7th respondent-father appeared before us. We have interacted with him and he stated that his wife, the mother of the alleged detenue, was in the hospital and she was discharged only yesterday, that is why the alleged detenue could not be produced today. He also agreed to perform the customary form of marriage, after his daughter's examination. The petitioner submits that as such he has no grievance to be redressed. Since the parties have reached an amicable settlement, we close this writ petition. P.R.RAMAN, Judge. T.R.RAMACHANDRAN NAIR, Judge. kcv.
