Madhya Pradesh High Court Slaps Fine On Man Seeking Habeas Corpus For Eloped Son
The State argued that Sharma filed the writ petition to build a legal defence for his accused son while suppressing facts about the alleged elopement. Petitioner’s counsel Abhishek Mantri submitted that Sharma was merely a father unaware of his son’s actions or whereabouts. Unconvinced by the defence, the bench observed that the extraordinary constitutional remedy was being misused.
