Dated this the 7th day of May 2021

The mother of Smt.Suvarna, aged 23, has filed this writ

petition alleging that her daughter is kept under illegal

detention by a certain Sri.Sarankuttan.

2. When this matter was called today, the alleged

detenue Smt.Suvarna, the aforementioned Sri.Sarankuttan

as also the petitioner and her husband were present before

this Court. We have interacted with all the parties and had

given them an opportunity of talking to each other; but

Smt.Suvarna is unequivocal that she is not under illegal

detention and that she is living with Sri.Sarankuttan on her

own free will.

In the afore circumstances, and since we are certain

that Smt.Suvarna has not been illegally detained by anyone,

we can only close this writ petition and set Smt.Suvarna at

liberty, which we hereby do.
