¶11

The petitioner is the husband of the so-called detenue, Bhuvaneswari. The detenue was produced before this Court by the second respondent, Inspector of Police. When we personally enquired her, she categorically stated that she got separated from her husband who is suspicious in nature and she left the matrimonial house leaving her children. She is not willing to go back to her husband and she has already taken steps to initiate divorce proceedings. She has also issued legal notice and the same was also duly received by her husband.

referred to any counselling or mediation.

¶14

Learned Additional Public Prosecutor, at this juncture, brought to our notice that her husband along with his friends went to the place where his wife was living and had elaborate discussion with her but her husband was not able to convince his wife.

¶15

In view of the same, the so-called detenue is at liberty to decide to live in the place of her choice and no further order is warranted in this petition. Hence, the Habeas Corpus Petition stands closed. It goes without saying that it is open to the petitioner to pursue his remedy, if any, before the appropriate forum, in the manner known to law.
