**** INDERJIT SINGH, J.

The petitioner has filed this criminal writ petition against State of Haryana and other respondents under Article 226/227 of the Constitution of India read with Section 482 Cr.P.C. in the nature of Habeas Corpus to get detenue namely Rukmani aged about 22 years daughter of petitioner released from the illegal custody of respondent No.3. Notice of motion was issued. Learned State counsel appeared and filed the reply.

I have heard learned counsel for the petitioner as well as learned State counsel and have gone through the record. In the reply filed by the State by way of affidavit of Inspector/SHO, Police Station City-I, Barnala, it is stated that respondent VINEET GULATI 2019.07.03 15:07 I attest to the accuracy and authenticity of this document Chandigarh

CRWP No.499 of 2019 -2No.3 Beeru Kumar has already filed protection petition before this Court. The statements of detenue Rukmani as well as respondent No.3 were recorded by the police.

In view of the above facts, in no way, it can be held that detenue has been detained illegally against her wishes by respondent No.3. The detenue, admittedly, is major.

Therefore, finding on merit in the present petition, the same is dismissed.
