Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court set aside the Delhi High Court's orders dated 16th July 2007 and 17th September 2007 in a Habeas Corpus petition, emphasizing that the appellant had already expressed her unwillingness to return to the respondent and preferred to stay with her parents. The Court held that there was no justification for the High Court to require the father and appellant to appear again, as the appellant's position was clear and supported by an affidavit. Consequently, the appeals were allowed, and the High Court's orders were quashed.
