Case brief
What is this about?
habeas corpus writ petition; Lucknow Bench, Allahabad High Court; unlawful detention alleged by brother (respondent no.5); detenue major; restitution of conjugal rights; Section 9 Hindu Marriage Act; Regular Suit No.722 of 2023 Sarvjeet Singh Versus Priyanka Singh; Principal Judge Family Court Sultanpur; judgment and decree dated 16.12.2024; execution of decree as appropriate remedy; petition dismissed; Rajnish Kumar, J.; Order Date 2.5.2025; Neutral Citation 2025:AHC-LKO:25285.
What did the court decide?
As the detenue is a major and a decree (for restitution of conjugal rights) already stands in favour of the petitioner, it cannot be said that the detenue is in unlawful custody. ¶8
