Neither in the first round nor in the revised call, there is representation on behalf of the petitioner to press this petition. 2. The detenue has been produced before this Court by her mother along with Mr. Raghavendra, Circle Inspector of Police (CPI), Kyathasandra and Mr. Prasanna Kumar, Police Sub-Inspector (PSI). 3. It appears that the detenue is suffering from mental illness. She was admitted to NIMHANS Hospital and after her discharge from the hospital, she has been staying with her mother. Therefore, the detenue is not in illegal custody which - 6 - HC-KAR CNR: KAHC010348122026 NC: 2026:KHC:47599-DB WPHC No. 59 of 2026 would warrant the issuance of a writ of habeus corpus by this Court. 4. We find no merit in this writ petition. Accordingly, the petition is dismissed. Sd/- (D K SINGH) JUDGE Sd/- (H.SHANTHI BHUSHAN) JUDGE RKA List No.: 1 Sl No.: 15
