¶21

This petitioner has filed the present petition complaining that his minor daughter who was born on 08.04.2007 had been missing on and from 22.10.2025. The petitioner had given a complaint and it has been registered only as CSR by the respondent police. Similarly, the daughter had also given a complaint seeking police protection.

¶22

2.Again we must record appreciation of the third respondent, Inspector of Police, Melur Police Station for having registered only a CSR in CSR.No.691 of 2025. They followed the correct procedure in not having registered an F.I.R, since it is only a matter between the father and the daughter.

¶23

3.Today, the detenue had been secured. She had married her own cousin. The detenue had come along with her sister-in-law/ her husband's sister. The petitioner is also present.
