                                    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.
