A.Muhamed Mustaque, J.

This writ petition(Criminal) was filed by the son

alleging that his father is missing and detained under

illegal custody. The police enquiry shows that the father

was admitted to Medical College Hospital, Thrissur and

thereafter, he was discharged. There is nothing on record to show that he is under illegal detention. If that be

so, the petitioner can lodge a man missing complaint and

pursue the legal remedy in accordance with the law.

This writ petition (Criminal) is disposed of.
