[Order of the Court was made by S.NAGAMUTHU, J.] The petitioner is the mother of one Mrs.Priya @ Padmapriya/detenue, who is aged about 26 years and she has got a child, by name, Kavya. The child is now with the husband of Mrs.Priya @ Padmapriya. According to the petitioner, the detenue has been found missing from 17.02.2017 onwards. Hence, the petitioner has filed the present Habeas Corpus Petition.
2. Today, on a mention made by the learned Additional Public Prosecutor, the matter was listed in the special list. Despite intimation given to the petitioner, neither the petitioner nor the counsel is present.
3. The detenue has been produced before this Court by the respondent Police at 1.25p.m. We enquired the detenue. She told us that the petitioner and her husband caused intolerable torture and hence, she left matrimonial home on her own and she has been living with her distant relative, namely, Dhanalakshmi, at SIDCO, No.49, Muthumari Street, Door No.6, Villivakkam, Chennai. The said statement is recorded.
4. In view of the above position, since, we are satisfied that there is no illegal detention of the detenue, no further direction as prayed for by the petitioner could be granted.
5. In the result, this Habeas Corpus Petition is closed, leaving it open for the detenue to chose her own way of life.
