(Order of the Court was made by R.SUBBIAH, J) The petitioner is the wife of the detenu viz., Muthukumar, aged 38 years. It is averred in the petition that the petitioner and her relatives arranged for a job for the detenu at Hong Kong on contract basis for a period of three years. It is further alleged that the detenu did not return to India, even after the contract period was over. On enquiry, the petitioner came to know https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/

that the detenu left Hong Kong. Since the detenu did not visit the petitioner and the children and as the whereabouts of the detenu was not known, the petitioner preferred a complaint to the respondent police on 24.11.2017. However, since no action was taken, the petitioner is before this Court with this petition. 2.When the matter was taken up for consideration, the detenu was produced by the respondent police. On enquiry, he stated that he returned to India on 03.10.2017 and that since there is a debt to the tune of Rs.3 lakhs, fearing about the creditors, he did not go to his village. However, today, he expressed his willingness to go along with the petitioner. 3.Since the detenu expressed his willingness to go along with the petitioner, nothing survives for adjudication in this petition. Accordingly, the Habeas Corpus Petition is closed. Sd/- Assistant Registrar(RTI) /True Copy/ Sub Assistant Registrar To:
