This writ petition is filed seeking a direction to produce the body of Nabbed Alim, aged 36 years, the husband of the petitioner, from the custody of the respondents. It is alleged that her husband was taken into custody by the 2nd respondent on 8/5/2008 at 10 p.m. and the reasons are not disclosed. Representation (Ext.P1) made to the Director General of Police did not evoke no response. Hence this writ petition. 2. A statement has been filed by the 2nd respondent-Sub Inspector of Police, Aluva. It is stated therein that the husband of the petitioner is involved in other criminal cases. He was arrested on 13/5/2008 and was produced before the Judicial First Class Magistrate's Court-I, Perumbavoor on 14/5/2008. It is stated by the learned Government Pleader that he has been remanded to the judicial custody by order of the learned Magistrate. As such there is no illegal custody as of now. However, the petitioner has a complaint that there -2- WP(Crl).No.154/2008 was a considerable delay in producing her husband before the court and the allegations raised against the detenue are also denied. This being a habeas corpus writ petition, we are not inclined to go into these allegations. Hence, we close this writ petition without prejudice to the right of the petitioner to raise such contentions before the appropriate Magistrate's Court. P.R.RAMAN, Judge. T.R.RAMACHANDRAN NAIR, Judge. kcv.
