The father of the detenu has filed this Habeas Corpus Petition for a

direction to the respondent police to produce his daughter, Rajeswari, who

the same in order to conduct the marriage of their elder daughter. When we

questioned about this to the detenu, she stated that she will give back all the

jewelleries to her parents.
