Judgment & Decree
According to own admission of the petitioner, Mst. Sajida Yasmin, the alleged detenue, is residing with her parents. The custody of real father cannot be termed to be illegal. I am not minded to direct the S.H.O. to raid at the house of father and produce her daughter before this Court. The insult which a family earns when a Police Officer/official raids at the house of respectable citizen cannot be imagined. The petitioner, if has any grievance, he may file a suit for restitution of conjugal rights where the lady will very much appear and her statement may be recorded. In the above circumstances, I find no justification to issue the writ prayed for. Dismissed in limine. N.H.Q./M-2093/L Petition dismissed.
