V.Karkuvelayi v. The Superintendent of Police

O R D E R Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Additional Public Prosecutor appearing for the respondents.

¶2The case of the petitioner is that her husband is missing. It appears that based on the complaint given by the petitioner, a case in Crime No.26 of 2023 has been registered on the file of Soolakkarai Police Station, Virudhunagar District. The so-called detenu is a major, aged about 31 years.
