She submits that she had left the house of the petitioner on her own free will as she was not being treated well by the petitioner and his family. She further states that she does not want to go back to petitioner and wants to stay with her parents.
4. Since wife of the petitioner, who is present in Court, is, admittedly, major and has stated before us that she wants to stay with her parents, therefore, no further order is required to be passed in the present petition. She is thus, at liberty, to go back to her parents.
5. Petition is, accordingly, disposed of.
