For the Petitioner :

Mr. Mayank Singh, Advocate For the State :

Ms. Priya Gupta, Advocate Mr. Lokesh Kumar, AC to AG ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE RAJEEV RANJAN PRASAD and HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE KUMAR MANISH ORAL ORDER (Per: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE RAJEEV RANJAN PRASAD) 06-07-2026 Although the matter has been listed under heading "For Orders on Office Notes", but this being a case in which a prayer has been made for issuance of a Writ in the nature of Habeas Corpus, the Court has perused the application.

2. It appears from the very first paragraph of the writ application that the petitioner is well aware of the whereabout of his wife and child but his case is that his in-laws have brainwashed their daughter and, therefore, he alleges that his wife and child have been unlawfully confined and the petitioner

Patna High Court CR. WJC No.1329 of 2026(2) dt.06-07-2026 2/2 has been prohibited from meeting them. This seems to be a case of matrimonial discord.

3. From the averments made in the writ petition also, it appears that the petitioner alleges unwarranted involvement of his in-laws in his family affairs which led to the deterioration in the family life of the petitioner. He admits that there had been tussle in the family on petty issues and he further admits that the petitioner totally separated from his family since last one year and this has caused him depression.

4. In our considered opinion, the remedy applied for is misdirected. This extraordinary writ in the nature of a Writ of Habeas Corpus cannot be issued in the kind of disputes between the parties. The petitioner is required to seek his remedy elsewhere as may be advised to him.

5. This writ application is dismissed as not entertained. Liberty is reserved to the petitioner to seek his remedy before appropriate forum in accordance with law. (Rajeev Ranjan Prasad, J) (Kumar Manish, J) lekhi/- U
