Pursuant to the direction of this Court, Santhoshkumar, son of
the petitioner, appeared before us. According to him, he is aged about 2
8 years. Though it is alleged by the petitioner in the petition that his son
Santhoshkumar was under the illegal custody of 5th respondent, the detenu
informed us that at present he is working at Hyderabad and he is not under the
illegal custody of anyone, including the 5 th respondent. He further informed
this Court that due to misunderstanding between himself and his wife Heema
Bindhu, he is not interested in continuing the marital life with her and is
going to approach the concerned Court for necessary relief. We also enquired
his wife Heema Bindhu. She expressed that in view of the strained
relationship with the detenu, it would be difficult for her to continue the
marital life with him.
Taking note of the stand of the detenu Santhoshkumar, who
being a major and in the light of his assertion, we are of the view that the
detenu is not under the illegal custody of anyone and he is set at liberty.
Accordingly, no further direction is required in this petition and the same is
closed. The parties are at liberty to approach the appropriate forum to
vindicate their grievance if any.
