When the petitioner's mother, namely, Kamachi, aged about 47 years, had gone missing, he had given a complaint on 09.09.2024 before the second respondent Police. The petitioner has also given a representation on 11.09.2024 and 09.10.2024 to the first respondent /Superintendent of Police. Since the petitioner's mother could not be traced within a reasonable time, he has filed the present Habeas Corpus Petition.
