2.Heard the learned Counsel on either side.

3.The petitioner is the father of the detenu. It is an unfortunate case where the daughter of the petitioner, on her own appears to have left the parental home, under the pretext that her father had arranged for her marriage. The detenu is studying first year. The detenu who is now been produced before this Court has agreed to go with her father on an assurance given by her father that he will not force her for marriage and permit her to continue her studies. The father of the detenu also agreed that he would not force her for marriage and he would permit her to continue her studies.

The father's undertaking that he will not harass her daughter or force her for marriage is recorded. However, the jurisdiction police is directed to visit the detenu atleast twice a month to ensure that the detenu is not compelled by her father or her relatives for marriage and to ensure whether she continues her studies.

5.Accordingly, this Habeas Corpus Petition is closed.
