Pursuant to our order dated 13.6.2008, notice was issued for impleadment of the father of the alleged detenue on 1.7.2008. However, he came over to Kerala and entered appearance through counsel. Impleadment stands allowed. 2. The alleged detenue was produced by the police from the hostel as per our oral instructions. We have interacted with the girl who voluntarily stated that she decided to go along with her father. The father is employed as a Head Constable in the Railway Protection Force, at Pune. Since the alleged detenue is a minor and she expressed her willingness to go along with her father, we allow her to go along with him. The father of the girl undertook before us that he will not compel the girl for any marriage against her wish. This undertaking is recorded. It is open to the detenue to take a decision in the matter of her marriage when she attains majority. With the above observation, we close this writ petition. P.R. RAMAN, (JUDGE) T.R. RAMACHANDRAN NAIR, (JUDGE) knc/-
