While so, since the marriage is against the wishes of the parents of the detenu, the detenu was kept in the custody of her parents and since the whereabouts of the detenu was not known, the petitioner preferred a complaint to the respondents 1 and 2. Since no effective steps were taken on the said complaint, the petitioner is before this Court with this petition.
