2. According to the petitioner / mother of detenue, her daughter Meena / detenue herein, who is aged about 20 years, has been working in a beauty parlour at K.K.Nagar, Madurai and on 17.10.2017, she was found missing. Since they suspected that the detenue has been illegally detained by the third respondent, who is none other than the husband of the detenue's sister, a complaint was lodged before the 2nd respondent against the third respondent. Even thereafter, the petitioner was not able to trace out the whereabouts of the detenue and therefore, having left with no other alternative remedy, she is before this Court, seeking for the above direction.
