Abdul Rehim and T.V. Anil Kumar, JJ. dismissed a petition seeking a writ of habeas corpus for production of petitioner\u2019s friend \u2013 one Sumayya \u2013 ruling that there was no basis for allegations of illegal detention.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It was alleged that as per Sumayya\u2019s facebook posts, she had been confined at a hospital by her mother and was being given unnecessary medications. When the petition came for admission, the Court directed the police to conduct a discreet enquiry into allegations of the petitioner, obtain a detailed medical report from the hospital regarding the mental status of Sumayya and also the details of treatment administered to her. Accordingly, a medical report, medical certificate and statements recorded from Sumayya were submitted to the Court.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It was diagnosed that Sumayya had a manic episode in the context of bipolar affective disorder and she was unlikely to receive treatment outside a hospital as she believed that her hospitalization was masterminded by her mother and hospital authorities were siding with her mother to <em>\u201cmake her mentally ill\u201d<\/em>. At the time of the admission, Sumayya lacked the capacity to take an intelligent decision and faced a risk of untreated illness. However, after hospitalization, she had stabilized and regained her capacity for mental healthcare decisions. She was taking medication and had agreed to continue the same and also get psychological help.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">She also stated that she has not been confined in the hospital by anyone and that she had only instructed the petitioner to file the instant petition as she intended to lead an independent life.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">After interaction with Sumayya in Chambers, the Court opined that she was mentally stable and comfortable with her mother as well as with the atmosphere of the hospital where she was staying.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In view of the above, the petition was dismissed.[Manoj Joseph v.
