Even though we had issued an ex parte commissioner to interact with the alleged detenue and file a report, the report of the Commissioner shows that though she proceeded to the place where the alleged detenue Ms. Ranjini Venugopal is residing, she could not find her there. But the Commissioner interacted with her mother's sister who was found there and filed a report. It appears that the alleged detenue Ms. Renjini was away in her father's house at Ettumanoor. 2. A counter is filed by the first respondent producing the affidavit of Ms. Renjini, denying the allegations contained in the writ petition. 3. Today, Ms. Renjini appeared before us and we have interacted with her. She submitted that she is a Post Graduate and has completed B.Ed Course also, that her father is an Officer in State Bank of Travancore and her mother is a teacher and she is their only daughter. From the interaction, we gathered that she is very affectionate towards her parents WP(CRL.) 101/2008 :2: and she could not even think of a marriage as stated by the petitioner. She stated that she is a free person and she is snot under the illegal custody of anybody as alleged in the writ petition. In such circumstances, we close this writ petition. P.R. RAMAN, (JUDGE) V. K. MOHANAN, (JUDGE) knc/-
