IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CR WJC No 811 of 2011 Nand Kishore Ray Versus The State Of Bihar & Ors ----------- 2 16.08.2011 The present writ application has been filed by the petitioner for virtually recovery of his married daughter. He alleges that he has got his daughter married but as his son-in-law was working outside, she used to stay with him and the husband and others used to visit her at his place. Petitioner further alleges that some co-villages enticed her away. It is not in dispute that she is a major. In our view, this writ petition is wholly misconceived. Petitioner, on his own showing, has lodged Siwaipatti Police Station Case No 27 of 2011 dated 29.03.2011 under Sections 363, 366/34 of Indian Penal Code against the named persons and the police is investigating. A writ of habeas corpus would not lie in such situation. It is a matter of criminal investigation whether she has eloped or she has been kidnapped. This writ petition being misconceived is, accordingly, dismissed. The petitioner, however, has the liberty to move the Superintendent of Police, Muzaffarpur East if he has any grievance against the Investigating Agency who would look into the matter and take necessary action in that regard.
