P. Sathasivam, J.—The petitioner, S. Ansar Basha, has filed the above petition for production of his daughter Reshma Banu before this

Court and hand over her custody.

Pursuant to the direction, the detenue Reshma Banu appeared before us. According to her, she is a major; her date of birth being 02.07.1988.

On our enquiry, she asserted that she married the 4th respondent Saravanan on 10.04.2006 at Mangadu Temple. She further informed us that

from the date of her marriage, she is living with her husband, 4th respondent herein, along with his parents. She also asserted that she wish to

continue to live with 4th respondent.

Fourth respondent by name Saravanan also appeared before us. We enquired him. He expressed that at his own volition, he married the

detenue Reshma Banu at Mangadu Temple on 10.04.2006 and according to him, both of them are living along with his parents at Pallikaranai. His

above statement is hereby recorded.

In view of the fact that the detenue being a major and her assertion that she is living with the 4th respondent as per her own will and not under

force of any one, we are of the view that no further adjudication is required in this petition and she is set at liberty. It is made clear that we have not

expressed anything about the validity or otherwise about the marriage set to have taken place on 10.04.2006. With the above observation, this

petition is closed.
