HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT ALLAHABAD LUCKNOW HABEAS CORPUS WRIT PETITION No. - 363 of 2025 Court No. - 13 HON'BLE SUBHASH VIDYARTHI, J. 1. Heard Shri Lalji Prasad Shukla, learned counsel for the petitioner, and Shri Avishesh Kumar Singh, learned Additional Government Advocate, and perused the material available on record. 2. The present Habeas Corpus writ petition has been filed on behalf of a 35-year-old alleged detenue Desh Deepak through his wife, Smt. Suman, stating that the detenue has been detained by the opposite party Nos. 4 to 7, who are his family members. Learned counsel for the petitioner has stated that the petitioner had lodged FIR No. 292 of 2022 in PS Kotwali, District Sitapur, for offences under Section 3/4, Dowry Prohibition Act, and Sections 506 and 498A IPC against her husband Desh Deepak and opposite party Nos. 2 to 5, alleging harassment for demanding dowry. The opposite party No. 4 has lodged a missing person report on 22/05/2025, stating that Desh Deepak has gone missing since 20/05/2025. Learned counsel for the petitioner has also submitted that Smt. Suman has filed a complaint under section 12 of the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005, in the court of Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate- II, Sitapur. 3.

In these circumstances, the allegation of her husband being illegally detained by his family members appears to be baseless.
