He also apprehends danger to her life at the hands of her parents and seeks appropriate directions to be issued to the respondents 1 to 3. A counter affidavit has been filed by the 2nd respondent stating that the parents of the detenu have lodged a complaint with the respondent-police station on 20.05.2006 alleging that their daughter who is studying second year of B.P.T. (Bachelor of Physiotherapy) at KMPT College, Guntur, is missing since 18.05.2006 due to mental illness and instability, and also expressed suspicion over the petitioner herein. In that connection, a case in Crime No.124/2006 was registered and the investigation is in progress. While so, on 21-05-2006, the answering respondent, on receipt of telephonic information from the 1st respondent, found the alleged detenu at the residence of the petitioner herein and she was brought to Guntur with the assistance of Woman P.C. provided by 1st respondent and the said fact was intimated to her parents. On 23-05-2006, she was produced before III Additional Munsif-Magistrate (In-charge of V Addl. Munsif-Magistrate), Guntur, with a petition to give suitable instructions as to with whom the alleged detenu is to be kept, either with the parents or at the rescue home, as it is alleged that the alleged detenu is suffering from mental illness. The parents of the alleged detenu also represented that the alleged detenu is suffering from mental illness and has been taking treatment for the last three years and she has not caused any hurt to anyone or to herself and requested the Court to handover the girl to them assuring that they will take care of their daughter and get the treatment continued. The alleged detenu herself requested the learned Magistrate to send her along with her parents and also gave a written application in that regard. Since the alleged detenu herself expressed her willingness to go along with her parents, the learned Magistrate ordered that the alleged detenu be released on furnishing of a personal bond for Rs.5,000/- and on such release, she was directed to be handed over to her parents. As per the directions of the learned Magistrate, she has been handed over to her parents and is now living with them. Further, the allegation that the alleged detenu was illegally detained by her parents (respondents 4 to 6 herein), with the help of the answering respondent and his subordinates was denied. In view of the averments made in the counter affidavit, no further orders are required to be passed in the writ petition. The writ petition is accordingly dismissed. ___________________ T.
