This habeas corpus petition has been instituted by the mother of one S.Niranjana, who has been found missing from 30.03.2026 onwards.
2. When the matter had come up for admission, we had directed the respondents to take necessary steps to secure her and had adjourned the matter to today.
3. Learned Additional Public Prosecutor produces the detenue (17 years 8 months as on date DOB : 31.08.2008) in Court today.
4. Though detenue states that she had gone to Villupuram and thereafter to Salem to meet a male friend of hers, it would suffice for the purpose of this petition to record that she has now been handed over to the custody of her mother, who is present in Court.
5. Nothing further survives for adjudication in this habeas corpus petition and recording the aforesaid, we close the same. No costs.
