J U D G M E N T Joseph, J. The petitioner has approached this Court seeking a Writ of Habeas Corpus for production of his wife. Illegal detention is alleged against the third respondent, who is none other than the father of the alleged detenue. The detenue was produced. We interacted with her, the petitioner and also the third respondent. 2. The detenue, of course, says that there is no detention. She would say that she would like to go with the petitioner. The third respondent has handed over some documents, said to be belonging to the alleged detenue. The detenue would also acknowledge receipt of the said documents. In view of the stand taken by the alleged detenue, we dispose of the Writ Petition by allowing the alleged detenue to go with the petitioner. Sd/- K.M.JOSEPH, JUDGE.
