3. On instructions, the learned Additional Public Prosecutor submitted that the petitioner's son Sivaselvan, aged about 25 years, had eloped with the wife of the third respondent, in connection with which, on a complaint given by the third respondent, a case in Sulur Police Station Crime No.265 of 2019 was registered for 'woman and child' missing.
