No.379 of 2010\n                    -------------------------------------------------\n              Dated this the 11th day of October , 2010\n\n                                  JUDGMENT\n<\/pre>\n
BASANT, J.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
      This judgment must be read in continuation of our earlier orders<\/p>\n
dated 4.10.2010 and 6.10.2010. Today when the case is called the<\/p>\n
petitioner is not present. He is represented by his counsel. His wife<\/p>\n
and his son have come before this Court representing him. We are<\/p>\n
informed that the petitioner is facing great mental strains and that is<\/p>\n
why he has not appeared before this Court today.<\/p>\n
      2. The alleged detenue, Nyji has been brought from the Santhi<\/p>\n
Nikethan hostel. The fourth respondent is present. Respondents 5 and<\/p>\n
6, the parents of the fourth respondent are also present. A counsel<\/p>\n
appears for the alleged detenue, fourth respondent, fifth respondent and<\/p>\n
the sixth respondent.\n<\/p>\n
      3. We had interacted with the alleged detenue alone initially and<\/p>\n
later in the presence of her mother and brother. Subsequently, we<\/p>\n
W.P.(Crl) No.379 of 2010            2<\/span><\/p>\n
interacted with the alleged detenue in the presence of the fourth<\/p>\n
respondent and later in the presence of respondents 4 to 6.        The<\/p>\n
learned counsel for the alleged detenue and respondents 4 to 6, as also<\/p>\n
the counsel for the petitioner were also present.<\/p>\n
      4. The alleged detenue states before us that she had interacted<\/p>\n
with her parents after last date of posting. She is firm in her decision<\/p>\n
that she does not want to return with the petitioner. She asserts that she<\/p>\n
wants to get married to the fourth respondent. If the marriage recorded<\/p>\n
before the Mishra Vivaha Samithy is not legally valid and sufficient,<\/p>\n
she is willing to get her marriage solemnised and registered under the<\/p>\n
provisions of the Special Marriage Act. She may be given time to get<\/p>\n
such marriage, under the Special Marriage Act solemnised and<\/p>\n
registered. Till such marriage is solemnised and registered, she shall<\/p>\n
not cohabit with the fourth respondent as his wife. But she prays that<\/p>\n
she may not be compelled to remain in the hostel at Kochi and she has<\/p>\n
to appear for her M.Phil entrance examination on 14.10.2010. If the<\/p>\n
Court has to insist that she must reside in the hostel till her marriage is<\/p>\n
solemnised, that will cause very difficulties to her, submits the alleged<\/p>\n
W.P.(Crl) No.379 of 2010             3<\/span><\/p>\n
detenue. She undertakes that she shall not cohabit with the fourth<\/p>\n
respondent as his wife till the marriage is solemnised and registered.<\/p>\n
      5. The fourth respondent supports the alleged detenue in all<\/p>\n
what she has stated and recorded above. He also undertakes that the<\/p>\n
marriage between him and the alleged detenue will get solemnised and<\/p>\n
registered under the provisions of the Special Marriage Act. Till such<\/p>\n
solemnisation takes place, they shall not cohabit has husband and wife,<\/p>\n
he asserts.\n<\/p>\n
      6. Respondents 5 and 6 submit that they would be happier if the<\/p>\n
fourth respondent, their son had contracted a conventional marriage<\/p>\n
with a girl from same community. But they are willing to accept the<\/p>\n
marriage between the alleged detenue and the fourth respondent. They<\/p>\n
shall not insist on conversion. The fifth respondent states that he has<\/p>\n
apprehended to consider willing to accept the decision of the alleged<\/p>\n
detenue and the fourth respondent, who are educated young persons.<\/p>\n
The fifth respondent is not an educated person, he has not studied even<\/p>\n
up to the 5th standard. The 6th respondent had studied up to the 7th<\/p>\n
standard, it is submitted. Respondents 5 an 6 appear to be un-educated<\/p>\n
W.P.(Crl) No.379 of 2010            4<\/span><\/p>\n
persons. They are willing to accept the decision their son, fourth<\/p>\n
respondent, an educated young man, who has already passed M.A.<\/p>\n
(Philosophy) course.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
      7. In a petition for issue of a writ of habeas corpus, we are<\/p>\n
primarily concerned with the question whether the alleged detenue is<\/p>\n
under any illegal detention or confinement. We are satisfied in this<\/p>\n
case, that the alleged detenue, Nyji is not under any illegal detention or<\/p>\n
confinement. She and the fourth respondent are pos-graduate, they are<\/p>\n
aged about 24 years. They are M.A.(Philosphy) degree holders. They<\/p>\n
are conscious of the importance of decision that they belong to<\/p>\n
different communities are planning to get married. Both of them do not<\/p>\n
want to insist on conversion of the other to their religion, but are<\/p>\n
willing to accept the partner as one belonging to different community.<\/p>\n
Both of them had not secured any employment now, but they are<\/p>\n
hopeful of securing some employment. Till then they shall earn their<\/p>\n
livelihood by working in parallel college or conducting tuition, submit<\/p>\n
the fourth respondent and the alleged detenue.<\/p>\n
W.P.(Crl) No.379 of 2010           5<\/span><\/p>\n
      8. We respect the decisional autonomy of the alleged detenue.<\/p>\n
She has passed 23 = years and she wants to get married to the fourth<\/p>\n
respondent. We accept the submission of the alleged detenue and the<\/p>\n
fourth respondent that they shall get their marriage solemnised and<\/p>\n
registered in accordance with the provisions of the Special Marriage<\/p>\n
Act. Till then they shall not cohabit as husband and wife. We expect<\/p>\n
their undertaking that the certificate under the Special Marriage Act<\/p>\n
shall be produced before this Court, if sufficient time were granted to<\/p>\n
them. The alleged detenue states that she shall to day return from the<\/p>\n
Court along with the fourth respondent and that she shall return to the<\/p>\n
hostel in the Calicut University campus, where she was residing earlier<\/p>\n
to appear for her examination on 14.10.2010. Thereafter she shall find<\/p>\n
accommodation herself independently and shall take steps to get her<\/p>\n
marriage solemnised and registered under the provisions of the Special<\/p>\n
Marriage Act.\n<\/p>\n
      9.   We are satisfied in these circumstances, that no further<\/p>\n
directions are necessary in this Writ Petition. We are satisfied that this<\/p>\n
Writ Petition can be dismissed giving the alleged detenue and the<\/p>\n
W.P.(Crl) No.379 of 2010             6<\/span><\/p>\n
fourth respondent time to produce their marriage certificate under the<\/p>\n
provisions of the Special Marriage Act.\n<\/p>\n
       10. In the result:\n<\/p>\n
       (a) This Writ petition is dismissed.\n<\/p>\n
       (b) The alleged detenue, Nyji is informed that she is at liberty to<\/p>\n
choose what ever course she thinks is best for her.<\/p>\n
       (c) We record the statement of the alleged detenue that she wants<\/p>\n
to return along with the fourth respondent from the Court. We permit<\/p>\n
her to do so.\n<\/p>\n
       (d) We record the submission of the alleged detenue and the<\/p>\n
fourth respondent that they shall get their marriage solemnised and<\/p>\n
registered in accordance with the Special Marriage Act and shall<\/p>\n
produce the marriage certificate before this Court on the next date of<\/p>\n
posting.\n<\/p>\n
       (e) We further record the submission of the alleged detenue and<\/p>\n
the fourth respondent that they shall not cohabit as husband and wife<\/p>\n
till their marriage is solemnised and registered under the provision of<\/p>\n
the Special Marriage Act.\n<\/p>\n
W.P.(Crl) No.379 of 2010           7<\/span><\/p>\n
      11. Call this petition again on 30.11.2010 for appearance of the<\/p>\n
alleged detenue and the fourth respondent along with their marriage<\/p>\n
certificate.\n<\/p>\n

                                  ORDER<\/p>\n
  Basant J.,<\/p>\n
        The petitioner has come to this Court with this application for<\/p>\n
  issue of a writ of habeas corpus to search for, trace and produce his<\/p>\n
  23 year old daughter, a post graduate in Philosophy. According to<\/p>\n
  him, his daughter Ms.Nyji, an adult major woman, is being illegally<\/p>\n
  detained or confined by fourth respondent, a young man aged 25<\/p>\n
  years, in active collusion with respondents 5 and 6. The police<\/p>\n
W.P.(Crl) No.379 of 2010         10<\/span><\/p>\n
  have registered a crime, as Crime No. 567 of 2010 of Balussery<\/p>\n
  Police Station. The girl is missing from 17.9.2010. As the police<\/p>\n
  have not been successful in tracing the alleged detenue, the<\/p>\n
  petitioner came to this Court with this petition on 27.9.2010.<\/p>\n
        2. The petition was admitted on 28.9.2010. Notice was<\/p>\n
  ordered to respondents.\n<\/p>\n
        3. Today when the case is called, the petitioner is present.<\/p>\n
  He is represented by his counsel.       Respondents 5 and 6 have<\/p>\n
  appeared in Court. They are represented by their counsel also.<\/p>\n
  Counsel for respondents 5 and 6 submits that the respondents 5 and<\/p>\n
  6 are also aggrieved by the missing\/ dis appearance of their son, the<\/p>\n
  fourth respondent. They also want him to be traced. They are in no<\/p>\n
  way responsible for the dis – appearance of the alleged detenue.<\/p>\n
        4. The learned Government pleader submits that the police<\/p>\n
  have not been able to trace the alleged detenue and the fourth<\/p>\n
  respondent, so far. Both of them were students together in the<\/p>\n
  University and the police are making attempts to trace the alleged<\/p>\n
  detenue and the fourth respondent.        The learned Government<\/p>\n
W.P.(Crl) No.379 of 2010          11<\/span><\/p>\n
   pleader prays that time may be granted to the police to trace the<\/p>\n
   alleged detenue and the fourth respondent.\n<\/p>\n
         5.    We are satisfied that the request of the learned<\/p>\n
   Government Pleader, on behalf of the police deserves to be<\/p>\n
   accepted. We accordingly post this case to 18.10.10, with specific<\/p>\n
   direction to the police to make every endeavour to trace the alleged<\/p>\n
   detenue and fourth respondent by that date. If the alleged detenue is<\/p>\n
   traced by that date, needless to say, she shall be dealt with in<\/p>\n
   accordance with law and produced before the learned Magistrate,<\/p>\n
   who shall make necessary arrangements to ensure that the alleged<\/p>\n
   detenue appears\/ is produced before this Court on 18.10.2010.<\/p>\n
         6. Call on 18.10.2010.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
