WJC No.327 of 2008 BIJAY KUMAR SINHA Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 04 1.5.2008 By order dated 29.4.2008 we had directed this case to be listed on 12th May, 2008 for production of the girl. Additional Advocate General No.II had brought to our notice that the girl shall be produced today. In view of aforesaid, we have preponed the hearing of the application and today it has been listed under the heading to be mentioned. Petitioner happens to be the father of Sweta Sinha. He alleged that she is in illegal and wrongful confinement of respondent nos.11 and 12. Prima facie, being satisfied with the assertion made, by order dated 25.4.2008, we had directed the Senior Superintendent of Police, Patna to cause - 2 - the production of the aforesaid girl. In pursuance of the aforesaid order, she has been produced before us. We have inquired her wishes. She states that she had married Prakash Kunal Pankaj respondent no.12 in accordance with her own wishes. Respondent no.12 Prakash Kunal Pankaj admits that he had married Sweta Sinha and the marriage has been registered with the Registrar of Marriages of district South Delhi. Additional Advocate General No.II states that in order to produce Sweta Sinha before this Court she was kept in After Care Home and necessary direction in this regard be given. In view of the fact that Sweta Sinha is not under illegal confinement and further she is willing to go with her husband, who is present in Court, she is free to go to the place of her choice. There is no necessary to send - 3 - her back to After Care Home. In view of the assertion of Sweta Sinha, the prayer made by the petitioner for setting her at liberty is absolutely misconceived. Application stands dismissed. (Chandramauli Kr.Prasad, ACJ) (Jayanandan Singh,J) A.Kumar
