Naga Mallikarjuna Rao 3. P. Chandra Murthy .. Respondents O R D E R:- (Per Hon’ble Sri Justice V.Eswaraiah) The petitioner asserts that the 2nd respondent is his maternal uncle, Smt. K. Vishnavi-alleged detenue, is the daughter of the 2nd respondent and the 3rd respondent is the brother-in-law of the 2nd respondent. While so, the petitioner states that he married Vishnavi on 24.02.2011 at Hotel Krishna Inn Function Hall, Tenali, and immediately after the marriage, they had been to their relatives’ house at Tenali. On 25.02.2011, respondent Nos.2 and 3 and their relatives assured the petitioner that they are going to arrange reception for the couple at Hyderabad and asked him to send Vishnavi to stay along with them till the reception, and accordingly, he allowed Vishnavi to go with them. Now, the petitioner’s grievance is that respondent Nos.2 and 3 have wrongfully confined the detenue to her parents’ house and are not allowing her even to talk to him over phone and threatened him with dire consequences if he made any attempts to contact her. Hence, the petitioner has field the present writ petition seeking writ of habeas corpus directing the respondents to produce the detenue. In pursuance of the directions given by this Court by order, dated 08.03.2011, the detenue is produced before this Court today. We have allowed the detenue and the petitioner to talk to each other for sometime with regard to ascertaining their wishes for reconciliation of their lives, under the guidance of a learned counsel, Sri Raghava Reddy. After the talks, the learned counsel has reported that the alleged detenue has expressed her view to live with her parents and she is not interested to live with the petitioner. Inasmuch as her date of birth is 21.02.1993, she has now become major. Though the petitioner, having married the detenue, is her guardian, but she, being the major, is inclined to live as per her will and wish and go wherever she desires. Accordingly, the detenue, who has attained majority, is set free to live as per her will and wish. With the above observation, this writ petition is closed. However, insofar as the conjugal life is concerned both the petitioner and the alleged detenue are at liberty to work out their remedies before appropriate forum. No order as to costs. ________________ V. ESWARAIAH, J 15.03.2011 __________________ V. SURI APPA RAO, J bcj
