HARI RANI, JJ. ------------------------------------------------- W.P.(Cri) No.518 of 2009-S ------------------------------------------------- Dated this the 17th day of December, 2009 JUDGMENT Basant,J. The alleged detenu has been traced. He is present before Court. This petition is for issue of a writ of habeas corpus to search for, trace and produce the alleged detenu. The petitioners are the sister and brother-in-law of the alleged detenu. It is stated that the alleged detenu has been missing from the date of his proposed marriage i.e., 23/11/09. This judgment must be read in continuation of our earlier order dated 7/12/09. 2. The learned Government Pleader submits that with very great efforts the police were able to trace the alleged detenu who was working in a hotel in Madurai. The petitioners have had time and occasion by now to interact with W.P.(Cri) No.518 of 2009 -: 2 :- the alleged detenu after he was so traced. It is submitted that they are now convinced and satisfied that he is not under any illegal detention or confinement. He had lost his employment abroad. That fact was not revealed to the bride and her family. The feeling of guilt arising from such suppression, it is claimed, persuaded him to keep himself away from the proposed marriage. We do not swallow the explanation readily. However, we are satisfied that the alleged detenu is not under illegal confinement or detention by any one. In these circumstances, we are satisfied that no further directions are necessary in this writ petition. 3. This writ petition is accordingly dismissed as agreed. Sd/- R. BASANT (Judge) Sd/- M.C.
