Due to the above, she preferred a complaint to the respondent police and since no action has been forthcoming, she was constrained to move this Court by filing the present petition.

2. A perusal of the affidavit filed by the petitioner reveals that the 2nd respondent, the mother of the detenu, was not interested in the detenu marrying the petitioner and, therefore, with the assistance of the 3rd respondent, she has https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/
