Umar Mukthar v. The Superintendent of Police

ORDER DR.G.JAYACHANDRAN,J. K.K.RAMAKRISHNAN,J. The detenu was produced on 24.02.2023 and at that time certificates were produced by the petitioner to show that he has married the detenu in Jamath at Ramanathapuram, therefore, this Court directed the respondent police to verify whether the certificates produced are genunine and valid.

¶2Now, it is reported by the learned Additional Public Prosecutor appearing for the respondents 1 & 2 that the marriage in the Jamath at Ramanathapuram been solemnized without getting consent from the Jamath to which the petitioner belong, which means that there is some procedural lapse in the said marriage.

¶3Be that as it may, now, the girl, who is produced before this Court, wants to be away from her mother since she is not compatible with her mother due to some domestic issues. The detenue being a major, choice is left open to her and as far as habeas corpus petition is concerned since the girl has not expressed any wish to live with the petitioner, who claims to be her husband, the habeas corpus petition is closed.

¶4Accordingly, this petition is closed.
