Though the case is one of enticing away the detenue by the private respondents, the petitioner has an appropriate remedy (available before the learned Magistrate under Section 175(3) of B.N.S.S., no F.I.R. having been lodged); consequently, no case for issuing a writ of habeas corpus is made out and the present writ petition is dismissed.
