Raman, J.
We had passed a detailed order in this case on 26th October, 2007
pursuant to which the alleged detenue Geethu Peethambaran continued to
reside in ‘ATHANI’ as she had not completed 18 years of age then.
Subsequently, she appeared before us again on 13.11.2007 and after
enquiring about her well-being, we find that she is happy in “ATHANI”; but
she is not continuing her studies as no alternate arrangement was made by
her mother.
2. The case was adjourned to this day. We find that the girl has
already attained majority on 28.11.2007. Earlier, when she was produced
before the Magistrate’s Court on 22.10.2007, her sworn in statement was
recorded by the Magistrate. From the statement recorded, we find that the
girl has got a consistent case that she went along with Sudheesh – the 4th
respondent herein on her own accord and now also she maintained her
stand that she wants to go along with him.
WP(CRL) 245/07 :2:
Since the alleged detenue Geethu Peethambaran has attained majority,
she is set free. The writ petition is closed.
