This writ petition is filed seeking a writ of habeas Corpus holding the detention of Smt. G.Sunaja Hemalatha, wife of the petitoner, as illegal and to direct the respondents 1 to 3 to release her. 3. Pursuant to the orders of this Court, dated 02.07.2007, the alleged detenue Smt. Sunaja Hemalatha, who was allegedly kidnapped by her parents, has been produced before this Court by the police. 4. The learned counsel representing the petitioner - husband and also the learned counsel appearing for the parents – respondents 1 to 3 made their respective submissions. Despite the same, when this Court questioned the allegedly kidnapped girl, she stated in the open Court that she went with her parents on her own volition and not because of any force from any quarter.
