SARKARIA, J. ­

1. Kiran Singh, daughter of Shri Anand Pratap Singh, appeared before this Court on March 10, 1980
and made the following statement :

Kiran Singh, daughter of Shri Anand Partap Singh, now residing at Baranndha on S.A. My age is
18/19 years. I was studying in C.M.P. Degree College at Allahabad. I am very scared of this boy
who is threatening me to go with him. He says, if you refuse to be my companion I will shoot you
and throw bomb to destroy you and your parents and brothers. He have this threat by a letter and he
had also orally threatened so when I was at Allahabad. His friend Bimal Roy is residing as a tenant
of my father's house at 4, Minto Park, Allahabad. The respondent Akhil often says that if I go with
him he will get the house at 4, Minto Park. This was his plan which he had hatched in concert with
Bimal Roy and others. Akhil had disclosed this plan to me while inducing me to go with him. I
never married Akhil or chose him as my life partner.

The statement was read over to her, and admitted as correct by her.

2. In view of the statement, we grant special leave and quash the High Court's order directing the
parents to produce Kiran Singh before the High Court and the subsequent orders issuing coercive
process for her production. Taking into consideration her statement made before this Court, the
High Court may dispose of the habeas corpus petition pending before it, in such manner as it deems
fit.

3. The appeal is disposed of accordingly.
