...Respondents

Counsel for the petitioner: Mr. Rapolu Bhaskar Counsel for the respondent Nos.1 to 4: Mr. Santosh Kumar Government Pleader attached to the Office of the Advocate General The Court made the following:

HCJ & Dr.SA, J WP.No.17550 of 2019 Dt: 19.08.2019 ORDER: (per the Hon'ble the Chief Justice Sri Raghvendra Singh Chauhan) Dr.P. Vanaja, the petitioner, has filed this Habeas Corpus Petition, ostensibly on the ground that the respondent No.5, Mr. Ch. Ravi, who happens to be her husband, is illegally detaining their two children, namely, Master C. Abhay Charan, aged eight years, and Baby C. Brundavani, aged five years. Apparently, the dispute between the petitioner and the respondent No.5 is over the custody of the children. Since the petitioner has an efficacious alternative remedy, this Habeas Corpus Petition is not maintainable. The petitioner, if so advised, is free to approach the concerned Family Court in order to seek the custody of the children.

For the reasons stated above, this Court does not find any merit in the present Habeas Corpus Petition. It is hereby dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. As a sequel, miscellaneous petitions, pending if any, shall also stand dismissed.
