Judgment Basheer, J: Petitioner who is a native of Thiruvananthapuram and who is stated to be working in Dubai has filed this writ petition praying for issue of a writ of habeas corpus alleging that Ms. Divya Chandran, daughter of respondent No.1, has been illegally detained by her mother against her will. According to the petitioner, he and Ms. Divya Chandran had decided to get married on January 29, 2009 at a temple in Thiruvananthapuram. But in the meanwhile, Ms. Divya Chandran was prevented from contacting the petitioner. It is in the above circumstances that petitioner has preferred this writ petition. 2. Ms. Divya Chandran who is present in Court along with her mother stated before us that she is not under confinement of anybody, leave alone her mother. She further stated that initially a proposal was mooted for the marriage between her and the petitioner, through the parents. But later it was decided that this alliance need not be pursued. She asserted before us that personally she is not interested in having a marriage alliance with the petitioner. 3. Since Ms.Divya is not in illegal detention as alleged, no relief can be granted. The writ petition is dismissed. A.K. BASHEER Judge Thomas P. Joseph Judge an.
