Judgment / Order
10/02/2022
This habeas corpus petition has been filed by the petitioner-
Chagan Lal inter alia on the allegation that he married Priyanka
D/o Harchand (respondent no.5) on 24.09.2021 at Arya Samaj
Vivah Mandal Trust, Vijay Nagar, Gaziabad (U.P.), but thereafter,
as the marriage was not acceptable to the family of his wife
Priyanka, she has been forcibly removed from the company of the
(2 of 2) [HC-15/2022]
petitioner and kept in illegal detention against her wishes by her
father-respondent no.5.
On such allegation, we directed the State to produce the
corpus.
Priyanka, daughter of respondent no.5-Harchand has been
produced today. According to the school records, which have been
produced before us, date of birth of Priyanka is 07.07.2002. Upon
being inquired Priyanka states that presently she is voluntarily
residing with her father in her parental house without any
compulsion or threat of any one. She emphatically states that her
stay with her father is not in illegal detention but she is voluntarily
residing with her father.
Even though, the petitioner has come out with the case of
Priyanka being his legally wedded wife, keeping in view the scope
and ambit of the habeas corpus petition, we would not comment
upon the factum or validity of the petitioner's claim of having
married Priyanka. As Priyanka has not supported the petitioner's
allegation of having been kept in illegal detention, no further order
is required to be passed.
This habeas corpus petition is accordingly disposed off.
