Today, Gurpreet Kaur-detenue in respect of whose custody the present petitioner has been instituted is present in the Court. She has made a statement that she is ready to accompany the petitioner and live in his company. However, learned counsel for respondents No.4 to 10 submits that the matter was earlier referred for mediation but petitioner did not turn up before the Mediator and detenue as well as private respondents had appeared before the Mediator where also, she was ready ASGAR ALI 2025.09.15 19:29 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this document CRWP-7045-2025 2 to go with the petitioner. Learned counsel further submits that today also, petitioner has not turned up which shows that the present petition is frivolous and has been instituted just to create evidence in favour of petitioner. 2. On the other hand, learned counsel for the petitioner seeks adjournment which has been opposed by learned counsel for the private respondents. 3. Since Gurpreet Kaur-detenue has appeared and has expressed her desire to accompany the petitioner and petitioner himself has not turned up and is rather prolonging the matter, no ground for adjournment is made out and the petition in hand is ordered to be dismissed.
