Judgment :- S. NAGAMUTHU, J. 1. The petitioner is the husband of one Latha, aged about 27 years. They have a daughter, namely, Dharsana, aged about 4 years. According to the petitioner, Lalitha and Dharsana had been abducted by the third respondent on 27.9.2012. In this regard, he has made a complaint to the police. It is stated that a case has been registered in Crime No.1146 of 2012 for “woman and child missing”. Since no further action has been taken by the police, the petitioner has come up with this Habeas Corpus Petition. 2. When the matter was taken up today, the learned Additional Public Prosecutor submitted that this is the third occasion that the wife of the petitioner had eloped. On the earlier two occasions, she returned on her own. Now, on her won, she has eloped with the third respondent. 3. Having regard to the above and from the perusal of the affidavit filed in support of this petition, there appears to be no prima facie case of any illegal detention. We are inclined only to dismiss the petition, however, with an observation that the second respondent shall continue the investigation in Crime No.1146 of 2012 and trace out the missing woman and child. 4. With the above observation, the Habeas Corpus Petition is dismissed.
