On July 29, 2009, this Court had noted that nobody appeared for the petitioner. The petition pertains to a missing child. The record shows that the missing child fell into a flooded river as per the statement recorded. Thereafter, t appears that on 22.7.2008, one Madhukar Shivaji Kadam received a SMS with message on the mobile phone from one Sandip Patil to state that the missing child was taken in vehicle MH-18-A-303. The police have recorded the statement of the owner of the vehicle as also various other statements. No further progress has 2 been made. The statement of Sandip Patil was also recored and, according to him, he had not sent the S.M.S. The police have no information, but they are continuing with the investigation. 2.
