Public Prosecutor Mr.A.Shivkumar - R4 ----- https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/ O R D E R (Order of the Court was made by R.REGUPATHI,J.) The petitioner is the wife of the detenu by name A.C.Ravi Kumar. He was working at the petrol bunk of the fourth respondent and was found missing from 14.8.2007. Since the detenu did not return back, after searching in the petrol bunk, a complaint has been given to the third respondent police. It is alleged that in spite of registration of the case by the third respondent, no progress has been made and the detenu has been secured. Therefore, the present habeas corpus petition has been filed before this Court. 2. The learned Additional Public Prosecutor submits that during the course of investigation, the fourth respondent, owner of the petrol bunk has been enquired and several other witnesses have also been examined. It appears that the detenu went out of the petrol bunk on his own. However, the investigation in Crime No.747 of 2007 dated 18.11.2007 is still pending. It is further submitted that effective steps have been taken to secure the detenu. 3. In view of the efforts made by the third respondent, we do not see any merit in keeping the habeas corpus petition pending and it is disposed of with a direction to the third respondent to pursue with the further investigation.
