RAVIKUMAR, JJ. --------------------------------------------- W.P. (C) NO. 32486 OF 2009 --------------------------------------------- Dated this the 17th day of November, 2009 JUDGMENT Kurian Joseph, J. The petitioners are present before us. We find that they are duly married under the provisions of the Special Marriage Act, 1954. One Mr. Vijayakumar is present before us. He is the maternal uncle of the second petitioner. It is submitted that the second petitioner was with him since 27.10.2009 and she was missing from 3.11.2009. Hence, he had filed a complaint before the Kannur Town Police Station and the police has registered a crime as Crime No. 841 of 2009/Man missing case. Now that the missing person has been traced and since the missing person has become the duly wedded wife of the first petitioner, it is not necessary for the police to pursue the matter. Accordingly, we quash the proceedings in Crime No.841 of 2009 of Kannur Town Police Station. 2. The maternal uncle of the second petitioner submits that since the second petitioner has taken a decision on her own, no other member of the W.P.(C) NO. 32486/2009 2 family will interfere with her life and she need not trouble the member of her family also. In that view of the matter, we do not think that any further direction is necessary in this Writ Petition. The petitioners are duly married and hence the police need not pursue the Man missing case and need not interfere with their family life. The Writ Petition is disposed of as above.
