(Order of the Court was made by RAJIV SHAKDER, J)
1. This is a petition, purportedly, filed by the husband of the detenue/Jommey Mary. It is asserted by the petitioner that the detenue left the matrimonial house, as she had an affair with respondent No.2, i.e., one Jebastin Vinu.
2. The learned Additional Public Prosecutor, who is present in Court, based on an advance notice, says that an enquiry has been conducted by the Investigating Officer and thereupon the detenue's statement was recorded.
2.1. We are informed that the detenue's statement was recorded on 27.10.2017.
3. The learned Additional Public Prosecutor further says that as per the statement of the detenue, made before the Investigating Officer, the detenue left the matrimonial house as she was maltreated.
4. Having regard to the submissions advanced by the learned Additional Public Prosecutor and given the averments made in the petition, to which, we have made a reference above, we are of the view that no directions need be issued vis-a-vis the detenue as even according to the petitioner the detenue left the matrimonial house of her own volition.
5. This petition is, accordingly, closed. The petitioner, however, will have liberty to take recourse to an appropriate remedy in accordance with law.
