J U D G M E N T Raman, J. Petitioner is the father of the alleged detenue Ms. Sajithamol, who is aged 23 years. Petitioner alleges that on 22.1.2008 his daughter went to collect her certificate of computer course from G-Tech Computer Institute, Chalakkudy and by 3'o clock, petitioner's wife received a mobile phone call from the 4th respondent that Ms. Sajithamol is with him and they have got married. Though the petitioner's wife wanted to talk with Sajithamol, she could not do so, since the 4th respondent disconnected the call. Thereafter, the petitioner made a complaint to the third respondent Sub Inspector of Police, Chalakkudy about the missing of his daughter based on which the police registered a man missing case as is evidenced by Ext.P1 complaint produced in this case. 2. This court issued notice to the 4th respondent and directed him to produce the alleged detenue before this court, if she is under his custody. A direction was also issued to the 3rd respondent to ensure compliance of the above said order. WP(CRL) 35/2008 :2: 3. Pursuant to the order issued by this Court, the girl was traced out from Madras and produced before us today by the third respondent. We interacted with the alleged detenue Sajithamol. She has stated that it is due to a mistake on her part that she had gone with the 4th respondent, that she never knew that the 4th respondent was a married man and she expressed her desire to go along with her father. We interacted with the petitioner also. Being a major, we set Sajithamol free and permit her to go along with her father, the petitioner. The writ petition is closed. P.R. RAMAN, (JUDGE) V. K.
