THIS WRIT PETITION (CRIMINAL) HAVING COME UP FOR
ADMISSION ON 25.10.2024, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY
DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING:
W.P(Crl.) No.1128 of 2024 3

JUDGMENT
Devan Ramachandran, J.
We have serious doubts whether this Writ Petition is
maintainable for the reason that the alleged detenue has been
arrayed as a respondent.
2. Be that as it may, the alleged detenue is present before
us today, produced by the 5th respondent; and she says that she
has married him and wants to stay with him. She made it
unequivocally clear that, she wants to return with him and be his
wife, for the rest of her life.
3. We, thereupon, interacted with the petitioners - the
parents of the alleged detenue, who were very emotional, saying
that, by their daughter marrying someone of her choice, the
honour of the family is lost; and that it would become impossible
for them to survive in the society.
4. In fact, the second petitioner - mother of the alleged
detenue, said that if her daughter wants to continue to live the
5th respondent, then she may do so; but that she cannot claim
2024:KER:79542 anything from the parents, nor even contact them.
5. It is thus obvious that the parents are responding in a fit
of emotion and we do not blame them because, the situation
may not be easy for them to comprehend, at this time.
6. That being said, the alleged detenue also informed us
that her educational records are with her parents and that she
wants the same to be returned.
7. We interacted with the 5th respondent, who affirmed that
he has married the alleged detenue; and his Counsel handed
over across the Bar the Certificate of marriage issued by a
Temple. He added that he will formally register his marriage with
the alleged detenue, under the Special Marriage Act, as soon as
her educational documents are obtained.
8. Sri.Alexander George - learned Counsel for the
petitioners, at this time submitted that his clients will return all
the educational documents of the alleged detenue; and that this
will be done not later than 29.10.2024, by handing it over to the
learned Counsel appearing for the 5th respondent before this
2024:KER:79542 Court.
In the above circumstances, we close this Writ Petition,
recording that the alleged detenue has returned with the 5 th
respondent; with a further direction to the petitioners to
handover her educational documents to the learned Counsel
appearing for the 5th respondent before this Court, not later than
5 p.m on 29.10.2024.
