From a bare look of the alleged detenu Ms. Poonam who is also carrying a child of 11/2 months, we had apprehension about truth of the statement recorded under section 161 Code of Criminal Procedure. On asking, Ms. Poonam denied the contents of the statements said to be made under section 161 Code of Criminal Procedure. On asking she also disclosed that she voluntarily left her house with Deepak @ Pradeep and is presently residing in the town of Rohtak in State of Haryana. She also stated that Deepak @ Pradeep is present working as a Painter at Rohtak. 6. Having considered the statement made before us by Ms. Poonam, we found it necessary to have her detailed statement. Accordingly we got her statement recorded by the Deputy Registrar (Judicial) of this Court. The entire statement made by Ms. She also stated that Deepak @ Pradeep is present working as a Painter at Rohtak. 6. Having considered the statement made before us by Ms. Poonam, we found it necessary to have her detailed statement.

From perusal of the statement quoted above, it is apparent that Ms. Poonam left her house voluntarily and further that she entered into a wedlock with Deepak @ Pradeep. At present admittedly she is of more than 18 years of age and she is also having a child of about 11/2 months. 8. Looking to the voluntary statement made by Ms. Poonam, it is apparent that arrest of Deepak @ Pradeep is absolutely unwarranted. It is also disclosed before us by Shri Bhawani Singh, Deputy Superintendent of Police, Nokha District Bikaner that against four accused persons a charge-sheet has already been filed before the Competent Court in relation to first information report No. 406/2013. We do not want to make any observation in this regard as necessary care is required to be taken by the Trial Court in view of the observations made in this order as well as the statement given by Ms. Poonam before the Deputy Registrar (Judicial) of this Court. 9. In view of the factual background noticed above, this habeas corpus petition is disposed of by keeping Ms. Poonam at liberty to move as per her own free will and wishes. Shri Deepak @ Pradeep who is said to be in custody and who is present in Court be also set at liberty with a direction to the investigating officer to leave the couple to the place where-from they were brought and produced before the Court. All necessary security and protection is required to be given to them. The statement recorded by the Deputy Registrar (Judicial) of this Court has been handed over to Investigating Officer Shri Bhawani Singh, Deputy Superintendent of Police, Nokha District Bikaner, for necessary use in the investigation. A photostat copy of the same be kept with record of this habeas corpus petition.Petition Disposed Of. *******
