A Madras High Court Bench comprising of Justice S. Manikumar and Justice V.S. Ravi considered the concern shown by several parents regarding the rights of the parents to decide the future course of action, as regards education and marriage of their children, but restrained from issuing any orders in this respect, in view of the law of the land. The bench agreed with the contention raised that custom, tradition and the welfare of the adolescents have to be taken care of and parents who have nurtured the children, with love and affection and provided education, would be the best persons, to act, for the welfare of their children.However, the Bench observed that it had its own limitations in issuing any orders, in view of the laws of the land. It was observed, “By taking advantage of technology and utilities like mobile, computers, social media, it is very easy for young persons to get in contact with others, even from far off distances, and it is not uncommon that adolescent boys or girls are found missing or reported to have developed some sort of relationship, mostly, described as a love affair.” The petition was filed by R. Thiagarajan, under Article 226 of the Constitution of India, directing the Superintendent of Police and the Inspector of Police of Trichy District, for producing the detenue, Iswarya, who was the petitioner’s daughter.
