5. We interacted with the detenue/Ms.Suganthi, who, as per the date of birth given in the Aadhaar card, has, as it appears, reached the age of majority. The respondent No.3 also holds an Aadhaar card, which shows that, he is also a major. The detenue/Ms.Suganthi says that she has married respondent No.3/Mr.Sakthivel and therefore, would want to remain in his company.

6. In these circumstances, no further orders can be passed in the petition. The detenue/Ms.Suganthi, being a major, is free to take decisions concerning her own life. Sd/- Assistant Registrar(CS-iii) //True Copy// Sub Assistant Registrar vsm To 1.The Superintendent of Police Tirupur District.
