Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that in a Habeas Corpus petition, once the appellant expresses her willingness to stay with her parents and files an affidavit supporting her case, there is no justification for the High Court to summon her father and continue the proceedings. The Court found that the High Court's directive was unwarranted given the appellant's clear preference. Consequently, the appeals were allowed, and the orders of the High Court were set aside.
