STATE OF A.P vs V.YESHODHA

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 regarding a married minor girl. The Court emphasized that if a girl intentionally elopes and goes into hiding, tracing her becomes difficult for the police. Consequently, the Supreme Court ordered the deletion of the High Court's observations and directions, thereby allowing the appeal.
