Yuvaraja v. The Commissioner of Police

O R D E R Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Additional Public Prosecutor appearing for the respondents 1 & 2.

¶2Issuance of notice to the respondents 3 & 4 is dispensed with.

¶3The petitioner claims to have married the daughter of the third respondent. But, no marriage certificate has been enclosed. Only a photograph featuring the two has been enclosed in the typed set of papers. However, based on the third respondent's complaint, a case in Crime No.501 of 2023 has been registered on the file of G.H.Police Station, Trichy District.

¶4The learned Additional Public Prosecutor would state that the detenue was secured and enquired and since she expressed her desire to go with her mother, she was sent along with the third respondent. This statement is disputed by the learned counsel for the petitioner.

¶5We, therefore, direct the second respondent to produce the detenue before the learned jurisdictional Magistrate. The learned jurisdictional Magistrate will enquire the detenue and pass appropriate orders based on the outcome of the said enquiry.

¶6With the above direction to the second respondent to produce the detenue before the learned jurisdictional Magistrate, this habeas corpus petition is disposed of.
