The learned Government Advocate appearing on behalf of the respondents informed us that the police traced out the detenue and the investigation revealed that the detenue had got married with one Mr.Mageshwaran. Both the detenue as well as Mr.Mageshwaran are majors. This apart, the detenue, at the time of leaving her parents' house, was pursuing M.Com. degree course. Thus, she knows what is good or bad for her life. The detenue has informed us that she had taken a firm decision to marry the said Mr.Mageshwaran and now leading a matrimonial life.
