ORDER (Order of the Court was made by S.NAGAMUTHU, J) The petitioner claims to be the husband of the detenue, viz., P.Bharathi, aged about 23 years. On the allegation that the detenue has been now in the company of her parents, the petitioner has come up with this petition, seeking to direct the respondents to produce the detenue before this Court, and to set her at liberty. 2. We have heard, Mr.G.M.Ananthakumar, the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner; Mr.V.M.R.Rajentran, the learned Additional Public Prosecutor appearing for the State; and we have also perused the records carefully. 3. The learned counsel appearing for the petitioner would submit that the marriage between the petitioner and the detenue was celebrated on 15.02.2016 at Vadapalani Anna Mini Marriage Hall, Chennai. He would further add that, now, the detenue is in the company of her parents. 4. A perusal of the records would go to show that no certificate or documentary proof has been produced to prove the factum of marriage, except, photographs. It is the submission of the learned counsel for the petitioner himself that, now, the detenue is in the company of her parents. 5. Being with the parents, in our considered opinion, will not amount to illegal detention. Since, we are satisfied that there is no illegal custody of the detenue, there is no scope to pass any orders as prayed for in this petition. The Habeas Corpus Petition is, therefore, dismissed.
