HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V. ESWARAIAH AND HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V. SURI APPA RAO W.P. No. 5650 of 2011 DATED: 14.03.2011 Between: N. Srinivas .. Petitioner And The Station House Officer Padal Vijay Kumar .. Respondents O R D E R:- (Per Hon’ble Sri Justice V. Eswaraiah) The petitioner asserts that while he was working in Saraswathi College of Pharmaceutical Science, he got acquaintance with N.Mounika, the alleged detenue and the daughter of the 2nd respondent, and their acquaintance gradually developed into love and affection towards each other. While so, both of them agreed to marry, and accordingly, their marriage took place on 28.11.2010 at Arya Samaj, Asifnagar, Hyderabad. Thereafter, on 02.12.2010, the father of the girl along with the police, came to his house and forcibly took away his daughter and detained in his custody illegally. Then, the petitioner, on 09.12.2010, lodged a complaint to the 1st respondent-Station House Officer, Armoor Police Station, Nizamabad District against the father of the detenue. Now, the petitioner’s grievance is that though he made a complaint, the 1st respondent has not initiated any action in producing the detenue. Hence, the petitioner has filed the present writ petition seeking a writ of Habeas Corpus to direct the 1st respondent to produce the detenue. We have examined the detenue and recorded her statement wherein she has stated that her marriage was performed on 28.11.2010 at Arya Samaj, Asifnagar, Hyderabad against the wish of her parents, as such, on 02.12.2010, she left the petitioner and joined her parents, and now she is not inclined to lead marital life with the petitioner and would like to stay with her parents only. In view of the statement made by the detenue that she is voluntarily residing in the house of her parents as per her own will and wish, it cannot be said that she is in illegal custody of her father. Hence, the writ petition is devoid of merits and the same is accordingly dismissed. However, if the petitioner is so aggrieved, he is at liberty to work out his remedies before appropriate forum. No order as to costs. ________________ V. ESWARAIAH, J 14.03.2011 __________________ V. SURI APPA RAO, J bcj
