¶22

The petitioner, who is the mother of the detenue- Rajapriya, D/o.Arumugam, aged about 19 years, has filed the present Habeas Corpus Petition, stating that the detenue was found missing from 19.01.2017 onwards and in this regard, she has made a complaint before the second respondent. However, no effective steps were taken to trace out the detenue so far. Hence, the petitioner has come up with the present petition.

¶23

Today when the matter was taken up for consideration, the https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/ second respondent produced the detenue before this Court. On our enquiry, she told us that she fell in love with the third

¶25

respondent and hence, on her own volition, she went along with him and both of them got married. Furthermore, she expressed her unwillingness to go along with the petitioner.

¶26

Since the detenue is a major, aged about 19 years, she is

set at liberty.

¶28
