Full Judgment
W.P.NO.1653/2013 12-02-2013 Shri B.R.Koshta, learned counsel for the petitioner.
Shri A.K.Chourasia, learned Govt.
Advocate, for respondent Nos.1 and 2.
Petitioner Rewaram is also present with his counsel.
Rewaram, the petitioner herein has filed writ petition inter alia contending that his daughter the corpus is missing since night intervening 24/25.12.2012 and he has lodged an FIR.
However, as the police authorities were unable to trace her, he filed this habeas corpus inter alia contending that his daughter is in illegal custody with respondent no.3.
Notices were issued to the authorities of Police Station Lakhnadon and they were directed to produce corpus on 15-02-2013.
However, the learned counsel for the State Government made a submission that on inquiry the corpus has been located and she has been produced.
Therefore, on the request made by the learned Counsel for the State Government the said case is taken up for hearing.
From the records, it is seen that corpus is more than 19 years of age and it is stated by her that she is married with respondent no.3 and living with him and does not want to go with her parents.
She says that she is staying with respondent no.3 and has not made any complaint in the matter.
Keeping in view the submission made and the documents available on record, which goes to show that corpus is more than 19 years of age, no further indulgence into the matter is called for as illegal custody of the corpus as alleged by the petitioner is not established from the material available on record.
2 Accordingly, finding no ground to interfere, this petition is dismissed.
