Thus, the constitutional Courts across the country predominantly held in catena of judgments that establishing a ground of "illegal detention" and a strong suspicion about any such "illegal detention" is a condition precedent for moving a Habeas Corpus petition and the Constitutional Courts shall not entertain a Habeas Corpus petition, where there is no allegation of "illegal detention" or suspicion about any such "illegal detention". Cases of missing persons cannot be brought under the provision of the Habeas Corpus petition. Cases of missing persons are to be registered under the regular provisions of the Indian Penal Code and the Police officials concerned are bound to investigate [2026:RJ-JP:23491-DB] (7 of 8) [HC-193/2026] the same in the manner prescribed under the Code of Criminal Procedure. Such cases are to be dealt as regular cases by the competent Court of Law and the extraordinary jurisdiction of the Constitutional Courts cannot be invoked for the purpose of dealing with such cases of missing persons. 15. It is seen in the instant case that the petitioner has not made any averment in the entire writ petition that her daughter Juhi Sahu has been illegally detained either by the official respondents or by the respondent No.7. Averments made in the writ petition, as a whole, do not disclose the illegal detention of Juhi Sahu by private or official respondents. The petitioner only apprehends that the respondent No. 7 and his family members might have murdered Juhi Sahu. As such, unlawful detention of the petitioner's daughter, either by private person or custody / control / detention by the respondents is not pleaded, established or urged before this Court, only apprehension of alleged criminal act by respondent No. 7 and his family members has been expressed. As already observed in the above-stated paragraphs, a writ of habeas corpus is not to be issued as a matter of course and clear grounds must be made out for issuance of a writ of habeas corpus. In the instant case, the petitioner has miserably failed to plead and establish the necessary ingredients for issuance of the writ of habeas corpus and as such, the extraordinary writ cannot be issued at the instance of the petitioner for production of a missing person, as it is the case of the petitioner herself that her daughter is missing since 10-2- 2019." mi;qZDr foospukuqlkj orZeku~ izdj.k esa ;kph ;g nf'kZr djus esa iw.kZRk% vlQy jgh gS fd mldh iq=h dks voS/k :i ls fu:) fd;k x;k gSA ,slh fLFkfr esa canh izR;{khdj.k ¼Habeas Corpus½ fjV tkjh fd;s tkus dk dksbZ vk/kkj ugha gSA vr% ;kfpdk fujLruh; gSA [2026:RJ-JP:23491-DB] (8 of 8) [HC-193/2026] ifj.kker% ;kph dh vksj ls izLrqr ;g canh izR;{khdj.k ¼Habeas Corpus½ ;kfpdk fujLr dh tkrh gSA rn~uqlkj fofo/k izkFkZuki=] ;fn dksbZ yfEcr gks] rks fujLr fd;s tkrs gSaA (SANDEEP TANEJA (V.J.)),J (SHUBHA MEHTA (V.J.)),J 04/VISHAL SHARMA
