ORDER

[Order of the Court was made by M.M.SUNDRESH, J.] The petitioner is the mother of the detenue. Alleging that she is under the illegal custody of the third respondent, who is a married man, the present petition has been filed. https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/

2.We have perused the status report filed. From the status report, we could see that the detenue, being a major, has eloped second time with the same person. In fact, on the earlier occasion, a complaint was given by the wife of the third respondent, pursuant to which, both of them were secured. When arrangements are made for the marriage of the detenue, she once again eloped with the third respondent. Thus, we do not find any illegal detention involved in this case.

3.Accordingly, the habeas corpus petition stands closed. However, the investigation shall go on in the case registered for woman missing and as when the detenue is secured, she should be produced before the concerned jurisdictional Magistrate. -s/d- Assistant Registrar(CS-IV) True Copy Sub-Assistant Registrar mmi/ssm To 1.The Superintendent of Police, Thiruppathur.
