O R D E R

[Order of the Court was made by M.M.SUNDRESH, J.) The Petitioner is the wife of a life convict, by name Indirakumar. Though it is alleged that he was missing after obtaining parole, the learned Additional Public Prosecutor appearing for the respondents, based upon the records produced before us, submit that he was actually granted bail and he was released on 18.09.1999. From the above, it is clear that nearly 18 years have lapsed. The respondents-Police are unable to trace the life convict. However, we find that it is not a case of detention. In fact, the respondents are trying to find the where-abouts of the life convict.
