Mr. P.N. Sharma (AC to AG) ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE CHAKRADHARI SHARAN SINGH and HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE CHANDRA PRAKASH SINGH ORAL ORDER (Per: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE CHAKRADHARI SHARAN SINGH) 15-11-2022 The petitioner has a grievance that her son has gone missing since 30.07.2022, in respect of which, an FIR has been registered on 03.08.2022 vide Maharajganj P.S. No. 240 of 2022. This writ petition has been filed seeking direction to the respondent State Authorities to produce the corpus of her son. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner

Patna High Court CR. WJC No.1195 of 2022(4) dt.15-11-2022 2/2 has submitted that despite all efforts made by the petitioner, her son could not be found out and the police administration has also not taken up the said case registered by the petitioner seriously for investigation.

After having perused the pleadings in the writ petition and considered the submissions made on behalf of the petitioner, we are of the view that this writ application seeking issuance of a writ in the nature of writ of habeas corpus is misconceived. No relief as sought in the writ petition for production of the child before this court by the authorities can be given.

It goes without saying that as the petitioner's grievance touches disappearance of her son, the investigating agency is expected to take up the investigation with all seriousness by bringing the case to a logical conclusion. This application stands disposed of with the aforesaid observation.
