On the said complaint, a case has been registered in Crime No.3211 of 2015 for ''Woman Missing'' by the respondent police. 3.

namely, Rizwan Mastan. The detenue has also submitted that her date of birth is 16.02.1990. She had also requested this Court to direct her parents to give her original Passport and the I.D. Card which are said to be with them. However, the parents of the detenue had stated that the Passport and other original papers relating to her daughter were not available with them. 5.

In view of the statements made by the detenue, we do not find any reason to grant the relief as prayed for by the petitioner in the present Habeas Corpus Petition as the detenue is found to be a major.

In these circumstances, the Habeas Corpus Petition is dismissed.
