The petitioner/father has filed this petition to trace the detenue/Vijayalakshmi, who is his younger daughter, aged about 19 years. 2.According to him, the 3rd respondent kidnapped her on 08.03.2011. A complaint was given by the petitioner, which was not seriously persuaded by the Police department. Hence, he filed this petition. 3.On notice, the respondent/Police has brought both the 3rd respondent and the detenue/Vijayalakshmi before this Court. https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/ 2 4.We enquired the detenue/Vijayalakshmi and the 3rd respondent and they informed that both of them are married on 11.03.2011 and they are living together happily with the 3rd respondent’s parents house. The 3rd respondent also submits that he is doing agricultural activities. The 3rd respondent paternal uncle was also present before this Court and on enquiry, he also confirmed the said fact that both of them are married and they are living in his brother’s house, who is the father of the 3rd respondent. The detenue/Vijayalakshmi, who is also aged about 19 years, while admitting the fact of marriage would like to go only with the 3rd respondent and she says that she is living happily with him. 5.The petitioner/father of the detenue was also present before this Court and on enquiry, he said that if the detenue/Vijayalakshmi and the 3rd respondent married and the detenue/Vijayalakshmi wants to live with the 3rd respondent, the Court may pass appropriate orders on that basis. 6.In the light of the above fact that the detenue/Vijayalakshmi has married the 3rd respondent and reported to be living happily with him in his house, we do not find any merits in this petition. Hence, this petition is closed as the detenue is not being kept under illegal detention by the 3rd respondent. 7.In the light of the above order passed, the respondent Police may pass appropriate orders on the complaint registered against the 3rd respondent.
