[Order of the Court was made by R.SUBBIAH, J] The petitioner is the husband of the detenu. In the affidavit filed in support of the petition, it is averred that the marriage between the petitioner and the detenu took place on 13.07.2006. Due to wedlock, the detenu gave birth to two female children. While so, the third respondent often visited the house of the petitioner and on the advise given by her, the petitioner's wife compelled him to stay at her parents home and the same was not accepted by the petitioner. Thereafter, the detenu/wife along with the children found missing from 15.10.2017. Pursuant to the same, the petitioner has given a complaint to the 2nd respondent and since no effective steps have been taken, he has preferred a representation to the 1st respondent. Even thereafter, since the whereabouts of the detenu and the children were not known, the petitioner is before this Court with this petition.
2. Today, when the matter was taken up for consideration, the detenu along with her children were produced by the respondent police. On enquiry, she has stated that she is not under the illegal custody of anybody and she expressed her unwillingness to go with the petitioner herein.
3. In view of the said categorical statement given by the detenu, we are of the view that nothing survives for adjudication in the Habeas Corpus Petition. Accordingly, the Habeas Corpus Petition is closed.
