No280. of 2010 5 ********************* Dated this the 13th day of July, 2010 ORDER BASANT, J. Petitioner alleges that his fiancee is illegally detained by her parents. The 2nd respondent is her father. We have heard the learned counsel for the petitioner. Prima facie no material has been placed before Court to instill the satisfaction in us that the alleged detenue is under any illegal confinement or detention. The learned counsel submits that the helplessness of the petitioner may be appreciated. The counsel asserts that the alleged detenue in custody of the 2nd respondent had attempted to commit suicide and with injuries sustained she has been admitted to the Medical College hospital. We take note of that submission. There is nothing to prove the correctness of that submission. We are hence not yet satisfied that notice need be issued in this Writ Petition. However we direct the learned Government Pleader to obtain discreet information from the 1st respondent to enable us to take a decision on the question of admission. W.P(Crl.) No280. of 2010 6 2. Call on 15.07.2010. (R.BASANT, JUDGE) (M.C.HARI RANI, JUDGE) rtr/
