P. Sathasivam, J.—The petitioner, by name, P.Balamurugan has filed this petition, seeking direction to the respondents for production of
detenue, by name, K.Muthulakshmi, D/o.M.Kalimuthu, Pulianthottam, Chinnadharapuram, before this Court and set her at liberty.
Pursuant to our direction, the girl, by name, K.Muthulakshmi appeared before us. According to her, she is aged about 23 years, her date of
birth being 03.04.1984. It is the case of the petitioner that he married the girl K.Muthulakshmi on 20.02.2006. Pursuant to the marriage, the
petitioner filed this petition, since according to him, the girl is under the illegal custody of the third respondent, who is none else than the father of
the girl.
In the light of the allegations made, we enquired the girl K. Muthulakshmi. According to her, she herself tied ''Thali'' and no marriage was ever
performed. She also asserted that both of them have not lived together even for a single day. She further informed us that on 03 .03.2006, she
married one Senthil Kumar in the presence of relatives and well wishers and according to her, from that date, she is living with him happily. In the
light of the above statement and of the fact that she being a major aged about 23 years, we are satisfied that she is not under the illegal custody of
third respondent as claimed by the petitioner.
In the light of the above information, we are satisfied that no further adjudication is required in this petition; accordingly, the same is closed.
