JUDGMENT S. RAJESWARAN, J. 1. The case of the petitioner is that his wife aged about 35 years, his daughter Pavithra aged about 12 years, his son Kavashik, aged about 10 years and his six months old baby Yashmin, are missing from 23.9.2013. 2. Admittedly, the petitioner married the detenue in the year 1986 and in the wedlock, they had 3 children. 3. Today, the detenue has been produced before this Court by the respondent Police. On enquiry, the first detenue, while admitting that she is the wife of the petitioner herein, would state that she has not been able to live peacefully and that the petitioner has always been causing harassment and ill-treatment, to the first detenue and the children. Further she added that the petitioner is a drunkard and is not concentrating on the family life. Therefore, out of necessity, she left the company of the petitioner and started living along with their own parents. The children are with her. Father is also before this Court, who also admitted that the first detenue/her daughter and the children are with them and they are assisting him in running the canteen business. The two children are present before this Court and they are living with the maternal grandfather. Though the petitioner is not present, the learned counsel for the petitioner would submit that the statement of the first detenue and her father be recorded and the petition be closed. His submission is recorded and accordingly, the petition is closed as nothing further remains to be considered. However, it is open to the petitioner to workout his the remedy before the appropriate Forum, if he is so advised.
