For Petitioner : Mr.A.Baskaran For Respondents 1&2 : Mr.C.Ramesh,Additional Public Prosecutor. For 3rd Respondent : Mr.S.Deenadhayalan ORDER The petitioner is the father of the detenue Dhanuskodi aged about 21 years. On the ground that the son of the third respondent has taken away the girl, the present habeas corpus petition has been filed. 2.Today, the Police has produced the detenue before this Court along with one Mahendran who is the son of the third respondent. On enquiry, we found that the detenue who is aged about 21 years has categorically stated that she got married with the said Mahendran, son of the third respondent on 15.04.2011. The said Mahendran who is present in the Court has stated that as per the transfer certificate his date of birth is 20.05.1991 and as per the Horoscope his date of birth is 28.07.1990. Inasmuch as the detenue who is a major has voluntarily stated that she has got married the said Mahendran on 15.04.2011, there is no question of holding that she is under the unlawful detention of the third respondent. Since the detenue apprehends that the petitioner and her maternal uncle are likely to cause harm to the lives of her as well as the said Mahendran, we direct the second respondent Inspector of Police, Veracholan Police Station to give adequate police protection and keep a watch over them. 3.The Habeas Corpus Petition is closed accordingly. No costs.
