The prayer in this writ petition is to issue a writ of Habeas Corpus directing respondents 2 to 8 to produce the son of the petitioner before this Court. 2. Today when the matter came up we heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Government Pleader. The alleged detenue was present before us. When we questioned him, he would say that he was not under detention of respondents 6 to 8 which is the allegation in the writ petition. Admittedly, the alleged detenue is aged 22 years and he is a major. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that there is a marriage in the temple with the daughter of 8th respondent who is a minor. In view of the fact that there is no detention as such as alleged, we do not propose to permit the petitioner to WPCRL.384/2009 -2- pursue the writ petition. The writ petition is closed.
