3. The detenue had been produced before us along with the child. The petitioner is not present. But, however, her husband has come to Court. She is not prepared to go with her husband. She complains of series of torture at the hands of her husband including her hand being broken by her husband. She had given away all the jewels to her parents to hand it back to her husband. She stated that she would take care of herself and her child by seeking employment. She is also represented by a counsel and we are confident that the learned counsel would provide her with proper and good advise.

¶28

4. Since the detenue had been secured along with the child, no further orders are required in this petition. Accordingly, this Habeas Corpus Petition stands closed.
