Allahabad High Court: <\/strong>Dr Yogendra Kumar Srivastava, J., expressed that:<\/p>\n

\n

The remedy of writ of habeas corpus at the instance of a person seeking to obtain possession of someone whom he claims to be his wife would therefore not be available as a matter of course.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The present matter for writ of habeas corpus was filed to produce the corpus of petitioner 1 stated to be under detention.<\/p>\n

On investigation, it was revealed that petitioner 1 had left her matrimonial home on her own on account of discord with her husband, petitioner 2 for the reason that he is stated to have entered into another marriage and a child was also stated to have been born out of the wedlock.<\/p>\n

Petitioners counsel though disputing the factum <\/em>of the second marriage did not controvert the fact of petitioner 2 being in an extra marital relationship and also that a child was born out of the said relationship.<\/p>\n

Analysis and Decision<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
\n

The writ of habeas corpus is a prerogative writ and an extraordinary remedy.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Bench observed that writ of habeas corpus is of right and not a writ of course and may be granted only on reasonable ground or probable cause being shown, as held in Mohammad Ikram Hussain v. State of U.P., <\/em>1964 AIR 1625 and Kanu Sanyal v. District Magistrate Darjeeling, <\/em>(1973) 2 SCC 674<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Elaborating more on writ of Habeas Corpus, Court added that it has been held as a festinum remedium <\/em>and accordingly the power would be exercisable in a clear case.<\/p>\n

Hence, High Court held that in view of the other remedies available for the purpose under criminal and civil law, issuance of writ of habeas corpus at the behest of a husband to regain his wife may not be available as a matter of course and the power in this regard may be exercised only when a clear case would be made out.<\/p>\n

Therefore, petitioner 1 having left the matrimonial home on her own due to a matrimonial discord, the present petition for a writ of habeas corpus at the behest of husband would not be entertainable.[Soniya v. State of U.P., 2021 SCC OnLine All 174<\/b><\/a>, decided on 10-02-2021]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
