Respondent Mr. A.M. Saraogi for the petitioner. Ms. P.H. Kantharia, A.P.P. for the State. CORAM : SMT. RANJANA DESAI & R.G. KETKAR, JJ. DATED : 16TH JUNE, 2009. P.C.:- 1. This is a habeas corpus writ petition. The petitioner’s case was that his minor daughter Ms. Mandeep Kaur was kidnapped. We had directed the police to make efforts to trace the girl. We are happy to note that the police are able to trace the girl. She was in Madhya Pradesh. She has been brought to the court. We appreciate the efforts AJN 2 made by the police to trace the girl. We have interviewed the girl. She has told us that she wants to go back to her parents. She told us that she is making this statement without any coercion or pressure. We have also interviewed the father, mother and sister of Ms. Mandeep Kaur. They have told us that they will take good care of Ms. Mandeep Kaur. Hence, Ms. Mandeep Kaur can go to her parents’ house from here with her parents. Since, Ms. Mandeep Kaur is traced, the habeas corpus petition has worked itself out. Needless to say that if any criminal case is pending against the kidnappers, it shall proceed in accordance with law. 2. The petition is disposed of in the aforestated terms. [SMT. RANJANA DESAI, J.] [R.G. KETKAR, J.]
