Judgment & Decree
I have heard the learned counsel for the applicant as well as respondent No. 1 who is present in person who has stated, that the applicant, his father-in-law, in order to usurp his jewellery have been filing such petitions against him and one of the petition was filed in this Court bearing Const. P. No. 149x/80, which was disposed of on 30th March, 1981. The detenu Mst. Khatija has been examined in open Court and she was cross-examined by respondent No.
1. It is clear from the statement of Mst. Khatija, that she is major and has been kept under duress by respondent No. 1 at his house, who does not permit her even to meet her parents. Since detenu Mst. Khatija is major and does not wish to go back to her husband from where she was secured by police, I set her at liberty and she is now free to go wherever she wants, as she is major. The above petition stands disposed of in terms of the above order. Order accordingly
