JUSTICE ANU SIVARAMAN and HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE VENKATESH NAIK T - 3 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:27361-DB WPHC No. 57 of 2026 ORAL JUDGMENT (PER: HON'BLE MRS. JUSTICE ANU SIVARAMAN) This writ petition (Habeas Corpus) is filed seeking directions to the respondent to produce the petitioner’s mother before this Court or before the competent authority. 2. We notice that the contention in the writ petition is that the petitioner’s mother has been taken by the respondent, who is her son, i.e., the petitioner’s brother, to Kerala and that the petitioner is unaware of the whereabouts of his mother. It is clear from the pleadings in the writ petition and the complaints preferred by the petitioner before the Police that the petitioner’s family owns a property in Kerala and that the residential address of the respondent in Kerala is also known to the petitioner. 3. In the above circumstances, and in view of the admission contained in the writ petition to the effect that the petitioner’s mother is not in Karnataka and has been - 4 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:27361-DB WPHC No. 57 of 2026 taken to Kerala by his brother, we are of the opinion that this writ petition seeking a writ of Habeas Corpus directing the respondent herein to produce the petitioner’s mother is not maintainable. Accordingly, the writ petition (Habeas Corpus) is dismissed. However, we make it clear that no opinion has been expressed on merits of the matter and all the contentions are left open to be decided in the appropriate proceedings. All pending interlocutory applications, shall stand disposed of. Sd/- (ANU SIVARAMAN) JUDGE Sd/- (VENKATESH NAIK T) JUDGE AM List No.: 2 Sl No.: 1
