State Of A.P & Anr vs V.Yeshodha & Anr

The Supreme Court held that the High Court's adverse comments on police functioning and its direction for an inquiry against police officials were unjustified in the context of a habeas corpus petition concerning a married minor girl who had eloped. The Court emphasized that if a girl intentionally goes into hiding, it complicates the police's ability to trace her. Consequently, the Court ordered the deletion of the High Court's observations and directions, thereby allowing the appeal.
