            Petitioner is father of alleged detainee Mst. Najma and has filed this petition for direction to the official respondents to recover his daughter Mst. Najma and produce her before this Court. It has come on record that Mst. Najma filed C.P.         No.D-1243/2025, whereby she has taken the stance that she has contracted marriage with Lutuf Ali, who is accused in FIR No.31/2025, registered at P.S. Gharo, District Thatta, under Sections 3, 4 and 5 of the Child Marriage Restraint Act, 2013 for protection and quashment of FIR. This Court passed order dated 09.04.2025 whereby petition was disposed of with direction to the petitioners to appear before learned trial Court in view of the dictum laid down in the case of Director General, Anti-Correction Establishment Lahore vs. Muhammad Akram Khan (PLD 2013 SC 401). Since it has come on record that she appeared in Court and filed petition against her father and others, therefore, no case for issuance of writ of habeas corpus has been made out, as such, instant petition is dismissed along with pending application(s), if any.
