Judgment 1. The petitioner is the husband of the detenue. According to the petitioner, the detenue left the matrimonial home to drop their child in play school. However, she did not return home. Therefore, the petitioner lodged a complaint before the second respondent Police on 30.10.2014. Since the second respondent had not taken any action to secure the detenue, the petitioner has filed the present Habeas Corpus Petition. 2. Today, the detenue was produced before us and when we enquired her, the detenue stated that she left her matrimonial home on her own due to the torture given by her husband suspecting her and no one is responsible for her coming out of her matrimonial home. The detenue further stated that she does not want to go either with her husband or with her parents. Admittedly, the detenue is 24 years old. 3. In such circumstances, as the detenue is a major and since she expressed her unwillingness to go with her husband, she is permitted to go as per her wish. As no further orders are necessary, we find it appropriate to close the Habeas Corpus Petition. However, it would be open to the petitioner to approach the appropriate forum to seek the relief, if any, in the manner known to law. Accordingly, the Habeas Corpus Petition stands closed.
