It is submitted by the learned counsel appearing for the sixth respondent that the sixth respondent is no more. He is therefore removed from the party array. 2. The petitioner is the father of the alleged detenue, who complains that his daughter, Rahna, the fifth respondent herein is under the illegal custody of the fourth respondent. Pursuant to the notice issued, the parties appeared before us. Based on the interaction, we found that she is a major who has crossed the age of 18 years as on 01/01/2006. She stated that she not under illegal custody of the fourth respondent. 3. In the circumstances, we close the matter. 4. However, since a crime is registered against the fourth respondent and this being only a summary proceedings, the closing of this case will not stand in the way of the police investigating the crime and proceeding in accordance with law.
