The petitioner is the father of the alleged detenue. It is averred in the writ petition that the petitioner's daughter by name, Dhanya is under the illegal custody of third respondent. Pursuant to the notice issued, the alleged detenue appeared before us. We interacted with Dhanya. She is a major, aged 20 years. She stated that the third respondent is her husband and her marriage was solemnised under the Special Marriage Act before the Marriage Officer on 16/08/2008. The original of certificate was shown to us by the counsel appearing for the third respondent. Though gave an opportunity to the parties for interaction, they were reluctant. Since the alleged detenue is a major and she has married the third respondent and states that she is not under illegal custody the writ petition is dismissed. A photocopy of the certificate of marriage be kept in the file. Return the original. P.R.RAMAN, Judge T.R.RAMACHANDRAN NAIR, Judge ms
