Case Note & Summary
The petitioner, E.Murugan, father of the detenue Pebina, aged about 21 years, filed a Habeas Corpus Petition under Article 226 of the Constitution of India before the Madurai Bench of Madras High Court, praying for a direction to the respondents—the Superintendent of Police, Kanniyakumari District, and the Inspector of Police, Eraniel Police Station—to produce the detenue and set her at liberty. The petition was registered in connection with Crime No.105 of 2025. On 27.02.2025, when the matter was taken up, the learned counsel for the petitioner sought permission of the court to withdraw the petition and also made an endorsement to that effect. In view of the same, the court dismissed the Habeas Corpus Petition as withdrawn. No legal issues were framed, no arguments were advanced on merits, and no ratio was laid down; the order is purely procedural, recording the withdrawal.
