Insofar as W.P.No.23396 of 2010 is concerned, the order dated 09-9-2010 in Crl.M.P.No.5883 of 2010 in C.F.No.10226 of 2010 was passed by the I Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, Vijayawada pursuant to the directions of a Division Bench of this Court in Review W.P.M.P.No.24531 of 2010 in W.P.No.12644 of 2010 dated 17-8-2010 for recording the statement of the petitioner herein as she attained majority keeping in view her welfare and well-being. The learned Magistrate after recording the statement and conducting a thorough enquiry, passed the said order stating that though she became a major, she was still immature and in her best future interest and career, it was just and proper to refer her to the Director, Women Development and Child Welfare Department, Government of Andhra Pradesh, Yousufguda, Hyderabad for her admission in the State Home for Women, Yousufguda, Hyderabad or any other Home that functions under the direct control of the Director in Hyderabad, for a period of one year, providing all other amenities for her continuous education, for taking up any other trade and to develop her faculties in the said Home. Pursuant to the said order, she was admitted in the State Home for Women, Yousufguda, Hyderabad. It is stated that the petitioner herself escaped from the State Home for Women, Yousufguda, Hyderabad and therefore, a criminal case was registered against the Warden of the State Home for Women and the parents of the petitioners have filed a Writ of habeas corpus, which is pending on the file of this Court, to trace out the missing petitioner herein. 4. As the petitioner herself escaped from the State Home for Women, Yousufguda, Hyderabad and none appears for the petitioner, we are of the opinion that the causes of action in both the writ petitions do not survive and accordingly, these writ petitions are dismissed. 5. However, the legality or otherwise of the direction to put the petitioner in the State Home for Women, Yousufguda, Hyderabad will also be considered while hearing the Writ of habeas corpus filed by the parents of the petitioners, which is pending on the file of this Court. _______________________________ V.ESWARAIAH, J. _______________________________ G.KRISHNA MOHAN REDDY, J. 17th August, 2011.
