*********** [Order of the Court was made by R.SUBBIAH, J.] The present Habeas Corpus Petition has been filed by the father of the detenue viz., Priya @ Priya Thevar, D/o.V.S.Kathiresan, aged about 26 years, stating that her daughter was found missing from 19.01.2017 onwards. Since her whereabouts was not known, the petitioner lodged a complaint before the second respondent on 19.01.2017 itself. However, no effective action was taken to secure the detenue so far. Therefore, the petitioner is before this Court with this petition.

2. Today when the matter was taken up for consideration, the second respondent produced the detenue before this Court. When we enquired her, she told us that she fell in love with the fourth respondent and on her own volition, she went along with him and both of them got married and she is presently living at the house of the parents of the fourth respondent. She also expressed her unwillingness to go along with the petitioner. We also enquired the petitioner, who is present in Court today. He has not raised any objection for the same.

3. Recording the submission made by the detenue, since the detenue is a major, aged about 26 years, we close the Habeas Corpus Petition leaving it open to the detenue to lead her own way of life.
