JUDGMENT
C.Jayachandran, J.
Petitioner is the father of the alleged
detenue, aged 21 years. He seeks issuance of a Writ of
Habeas Corpus to cause production of the alleged
detenue before this Court, as also, to set her at
liberty. It is the petitioner's allegation that, his
wife/4th respondent [mother of the alleged detenue] is
suffering from depression and psychiatric problems, as
could be deciphered from Ext.P3 treatment record. The
alleged detenue/daughter has also psychiatric
ailments. Presently the detenue is in the illegal
custody of the 4th respondent/wife. Petitioner is
completely in the dark as regards the whereabouts of
his daughter. Ext.P4 complaint preferred before the
jurisdictional Police fetched no result. On such
premise, petitioner preferred the above writ petition WP(Crl) No.475 of 2022
claiming the reliefs afore referred alleging that his
daughter is not being given proper treatment.
2. Today, the learned Government Pleader
produced the statement of facts across the Bar by the
Station House Officer, Paravoor Police Station, which
is accompanied by the statement obtained from the wife
and daughter of the petitioner. It is submitted that
the wife and daughter are reunited with the petitioner
and the petitioner had left for abroad on 04.06.2022.
We hence close the writ petition.
