TO JUDGE Mn THOTTATHIL B.RADHAKRISHNAN & C.T.RAVIKUMAR, JJ. ----------------------------------- W.P(Crl).No.438 OF 2011 ------------------------------------ Dated this the 18th day of October, 2011 JUDGMENT Thottathil B.Radhakrishnan,J. The petitioner alleges that his daughter has been illegally detained by the 4th respondent, whose brother is the 5th respondent. 4th respondent and the alleged detenue are nurses. They work in a hospital in Navi Mumbai. While the petitioner alleges that his daughter is illegally detained, the alleged detenue is present before us. She says that she is not under any illegal detention, but is in love with the 4th respondent and has decided to marry him. She also says that action is being taken for having the marriage solemnized/registered under the provisions of the Special Marriage Act. Recording this submission, we hold that the alleged detenue is not under any illegal detention. WPCR.438/11 2 We also record the submission of the petitioner that he and the other members of the family are prepared to co- operate with the marriage of the alleged detenue and the 4th respondent. It is obviously for the petitioner to find ways and means of interacting with the alleged detenue. The writ petition is closed. Sd/- THOTTATHIL B.RADHAKRISHNAN, Judge.
