ORDER
Petitioner is before this Court praying to Issue a writ of Habeas Corpus to produce her husband by name Ziauliah, who is in the custody of respondents 13 and 14.
2. Learned Counsel for the petitioner submits that her husband Ziauilah who is the resident of Shimoga Town and Manager of respondent No.12 went to Madhya Pradesh where on account of financial dispute between respondent No.12 GarlIc Trade.rone side and respondents 13 and 14 on the other, respondents crand 14 have detained petltIoneA)iusband. He further submits that petitioner approached ? 1
res tF pon 3d to 5, but they have refused to take cognizance of the case and directed the petitioner to go to Madhya Pradesh for any remedy. 5 Therefore, the petitioner is before this Court seeking to issue a writ of Habeas Corpus directing respondents 1 to 11 to set free the petitioner's husband from the illegal detention of respondents 13 and 14 and also initiate action against them.
3. Sri. H.S. Chandramouli, learned State Public Prosecutor submits that the writ petition is not maintainable and apart from that petitioner husband is not in illegal detention of respondents 1 to 5. Therefore, he submits that writ petition is liable to be rejected.
4. From the averments of petition, it is crystal clear that respondents 13 and 14 have detained the petitioner's husband. Respondents 13 and 14 are the residents of Madhya Pradesh. Respondents 6 to 11 are the police personnel of Madhya Pradesh. Since this Court has no jurisdiction over Madhya Pradesh and apart from that petitioner husband Ziaullah is not in illegal detention by respondents 1 to 5, the writ petition is not maintainable.

5. In view of the above, the writ petition fails and the same is hereby rejected with liberty to take such course available in law.
