(Order of the Court was made by M.S.RAMESH J.) When the petitioner's daughter, namely S.Vishnupriya, d/o.Senthil Kumar, aged about 20 years, had gone missing, he had lodged a complaint on 15.04.2025 before the respondent Police and the same was yet to be registered. Since the petitioner's daughter could not be traced within a reasonable time, she has filed the present Habeas Corpus Petition.

2. Today, when the matter was called, the learned Additional Public Prosecutor submitted that the respondent Police are conducting investigation to locate the petitioner's daughter.

3. Since the petitioner's complaint is in the process of investigation, we deem it fit that the respondents could be directed to expedite the investigation and file a final report.

4. In view of the above, the prayer sought for in the present Habeas Corpus Petition does not require consideration. Accordingly, there shall be a direction to the respondents 1 to 3 herein, to expedite the investigation and file a final report, as expeditiously as possible.
