This petition has been filed to produce the detenue, namely, Soundarya, aged 15 years before this Court.

2. The detenue Soundarya was produced before this Court today. We examined her and she stated that she failed in the 10th standard examination and fearing the consequences, she went away from her house from Sankarankoil to Tiruppur. At Tiruppur, she has met one Pushpa and Velu, who are stated to be husband and wife and along with them she had gone to Chennai and was working in a house along with them. Thereafter, she was sent back and the police in the meantime secured the detenue and produced her before this Court. The detenue stated that she will go along with her mother. https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/ 1/2
