Since , the alleged detainee is a sui juris lady and wants to go with her father, she is at liberty to go wherever she desires. 3. Section 491 of the Cr.P.C. empowers the High Court to issu e writs of habeas corpus, which are used to challenge the legality of a person's detention.

Before parting with this order it is directed that the Police officials shall protect Mst. Sain and ensure no harm is caused to her by either party and if any harassment is caused to her by any of the parties the police shall act swiftly.
