Thilagavathi, aged about 17 years, before this Court and set her at liberty.

2.It has been stated that the detenue had gone missing, from 06.06.2015. Therefore, the petitioner had made a complaint before the second respondent police. The said complaint had been registered, by the second respondent police, in Crime No.102 of 2015, on 07.05.2015. Since, the second respondent had not taken effective steps, to trace the detenue, the petitioner has preferred the present Habeas Corpus Petition. 3.Today, when the matter has been listed for hearing, the second respondent police had produced the detenue, before this Court. On enquiry, she had stated that she had married the third respondent, during the month of May 2015 and that she is a major, as her date of birth is 03.01.1998. She has also stated that she would like to go along with the third respondent and to continue her matrimonial life.

4.In such circumstances, we are of the considered view that no further order is necessary in the present Habeas Corpus Petition. Hence, the Habeas Corpus Petition stands closed setting the detenue at liberty, to go as per her wish.
