ORDER
(Order of the Court was made by M.V.MURALIDARAN, J.) One M.Shanmugam has filed this Habeas Corpus Petition alleging that his daughter, namely, Mahalakshmi, aged about 21 years, was missing from 07.11.2016 onwards. A complaint has been given on 08.11.2016 to the Commissioner of Police, Madurai. Since no action was taken by the respondent police, he is before this Court with this petition.
2. When this matter was taken up, the respondent police produced the detenu. On our enquiry, she stated that she married the 5th respondent Mr.Saravanan in the month of August 2015. But she has not disclosed the marriage to their parents. However, on 07.11.2016, she eloped with the 5th respondent. Thereafter, the respondent police called the petitioner and on enquiry, he came to know that the detenu married the 5th respondent. The petitioner, who is present before this Court, stated that he knew that the detenu was living with the 5th respondent. However, this petition has been filed by wasting the precious time of the Court.
3. In view of the above, since the detenu is a major, aged about 21 years, this petition is closed by directing the detenu to go along with the 5th respondent.
