ORDER
(Order of the Court was made by M.GOVINDARAJ, J.) The petitioner is the father of one Ms.Arivuselvi, aged 21 years. It is alleged that on 15.09.2016, at about 12 noon, four unknown persons came to the house of the petitioner and demanded the petitioner to send his daughter along with one Saravanan, who fell in love with his daughter. However, the petitioner warned them and thereafter, they left the place. It is further alleged that after sometime, the petitioner's daughter was found missing. Therefore, the petitioner preferred a complaint before the respondent police. Since, the petitioner's daughter has not been secured so far, the petitioner is before this Court with this petition. https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/
