Hon'ble Vipin Sinha,J.

Heard learned counsel for the petitioners, learned A.G.A. and
Mr. Intekhab Alam Khan, learned counsel for respondent no. 5.
We have also perused the earlier order dated 03.12.2018, and in
pursuance of the order, the Court has been informed that both
the petitioners are present before the Court, thus with the
consent of learned counsel for the petitioners as well as learned
A.G.A., the Court proceeds to examine the corpus namely
Preeti.
On being asked 'ki aap ka naam kaya hai', she informed the
Court 'ki mera naam Preeti hai'. On being asked 'ki aap ke pita ji
ka kya naam hai', she informed the Court 'mere pita ji ka naam
Awadhesh hai'. On being asked 'ki aap kiske dabav mein shadi
ki hai', she informed the Court 'ki maine shadi apni marzi se ki
hai aur mein apne pati ke saath jana chahti hun' both the
petitioner nos.1 and 2 have identified each other. At this stage,
the mother of the petitioner no. 1 ie Smt. Pavitri @ Parvati devi
is present before this Court, she states that she does not want to
pursue the case and has no objection to conclude the
proceedings. The Court further proceeds to examine the mother
of the girl as to her desire to conclude the present proceedings
and to allow the Habeas Corpus Writ Petition.
On being asked, 'ki aap ka naam kya hai', she informed the
Court,'ki mera naam pavitri @ parvati hai' she has identified the
corpus as her daughter. On being asked, 'ki kya aap chahti hai ki
beti ko pati ke saath jane de', she replied, 'ha chahti hun ki apne
pati ke saath jae aur khush rahe'. On further being asked by the
corpus-Preeti, 'ki kya aap chahti hai ki kuch paisa aapke naam
jama karva de' the corpus-Preeti informed the Court, 'nahi'.
In view of the statements made above by the girl and her
mother and in keeping in view the facts and circumstances of
the case i.e. age of the girl is 18 which is admittedly the
statement made by the girl before this Court, there is no purpose
will be served in keeping the matter pending before this Court.
The corpus Preeti is present before the Court, and is free as to
where she wants to go and no hindrance in her free movement
will be placed by any of the respondents.
Accordingly, the habeas corpus writ petition is allowed.
However, liberty is given that in case it is found that some facts
has been concealed, in the present writ petition, the person
concerned shall file a recall application before this Court to
recall the present order.
