JUDGMENT
Dated this the 29th day of January, 2021
K. Vinod Chandran, J.
The petitioner asserts that the daughter of the 6 th and 7th
respondents, is his wife based on photographs produced here,
who is now in the illegal custody of her parents. We directed the
Police to conduct an enquiry and also directed a statement to be
obtained from the alleged detenue. A statement was obtained by
a Woman Police Officer which along with a report, is produced
with a memo. We have gone through the statement and it is seen
that she was married to another one-and- a- half years back. But,
she admits to have voluntarily gone with the petitioner. However,
later from the Court, where she was produced on a man missing
complaint, she went along with her parents. It is also stated that
now she is living with her husband. It has been categorically
stated that now she is not under any illegal custody. Though it is
stated that her husband does not allow her to go out alone or use
a mobile, she does not seem to have any objection to it. Further
she emphatically says that she is not interested to go with the W.P.(Crl) No.24 of 2021
petitioner. The marriage asserted by the petitioner, on the
strength of photographs, cannot also be vaild since the alleged
detenue says she got married one-and-a- half years back. In such
circumstances, we do not find any reason to entertain the writ
petition.
This Writ Petition is dismissed.
