Today, in compliance of the directions issued by this Court on 11.11.2016, the detenue Ms. Shakti, aged about 22 years, has been produced in the Court by lady Constable Ms. Anju of Police Station City Narwana (Jind). 3. On request of the petitioner Anoop Singh, his sister Ms. Shakti was asked to sit with him and to have a talk and after some time, Ms. Shakti, the detenue has been asked in the Court who has clearly stated that she has solemnised the marriage with respondent No.4 – Ashok Kumar on 8.7.2016 at her own will and wish in a Mandir at Kaithal and since then she is living with her husband- respondent No.4. She is happily leading her matrimonial life with respondent No.4 whereas her brother as well as the other family members are not happy and it is only due to the said reason, some complaints are being filed including the instant writ petition. In a specific query put to the detenue - Ms. Shakti by this Court, it has been parried by her that she intends to live with respondent No.4 and the other private respondents and does not want to accompany the petitioner. Not only this, even her statement has already been recorded under Section 164 Cr.P.C by Sub Divisional Judicial Magistrate, Narwana (Jind) to the similar effect. The copy of statement has been furnished by the learned State Counsel today in Court and is taken on record. 4. In view of the above changed circumstances, the instant petition has rendered infructuous and it stands disposed of accordingly.
