Case brief
What is this about?
Orissa High Court, Cuttack; WPCRL No.01 of 2026; habeas corpus writ petition by Trupti Mayee Dalai for rescue of major daughter from custody of opposite party No.4; victim rescued 12.02.2026 from Sundarpada, Bhubaneswar per IIC Kujanga Police Station (Jagatsinghpur) instruction dated after Court order 27.01.2026; victim left home voluntarily and rejoined family; petition disposed of as infructuous, no directions or relief issued; no statutes or precedents discussed; Coram: Chief Justice Harish Tandon and Justice M.S. Raman; order dated 23.02.2026.
What did the court decide?
Since the victim had been rescued and integrated into her family, the Court did not consider it appropriate to keep the writ petition pending, as it would not subserve any fruitful purpose, and accordingly disposed of the WPCRL. ¶¶18
