2.Today, when the matter is taken up for hearing, the respondent Police produced the detenue, namely, Veni, who is major, before this Court.

In view of the same, we feel that the detenue being major, according to her own volition, can live with anyone and anywhere and therefore, it cannot be treated as illegal custody at the hands of anyone. Hence, this Habeas Corpus Petition can be closed, accordingly, it is closed.
