Waseem Raja Mughal @ Ali Mughal v. The State of Assam and 5 Ors

ORDER 10-05-2024 (M.R.Pathak, J) Heard Mr. S A Barbhuyan, learned counsel for the petitioner and Mr. P Sharma, learned Additional Senior Government Advocate, Assam for the respondent Nos. 1, 2 & 6. Petitioner and the victim girl, matured in age, were engaged to be married in Mumbai. The victim girl came to Guwahati on 09.12.2023 before her wedding to be with her parents. According to the petitioner, she was missing since the noon of 14.12.2023. Though the petitioner approached the authorities in the Assam Police as well as the National Commission for Women by filing E-complaints, it was submitted that police did not take any steps for recovery of the victim girl. As such, the petitioner was of the belief that the victim girl was with her parents, who might be involved in her disappearance. Page No.# 3/3 Mr. S A Barbhuyan, learned counsel, on instruction, submitted that the victim girl was recovered from the State of Meghalaya on 12.03.2024 and presently she is with the petitioner. In view of such statement made on behalf of the petitioner, this Habeas Corpus petition, being infructuous, stands dismissed.
