Madhya Pradesh High Court Bench has disposed of a PIL filed by a self-styled social activist, stating that he being a public-spirited person, must initiate an awareness drive among the public at large against encroachment and may also approach the competent authority on that behalf
The Jabalpur bench of the Madhya Pradesh High Court has held that no “moral policing” can be allowed if two adults are willing to stay together by way of marriage or a live-in relationship. A single bench of Justice Nandita Dubey passed this order while hearing a habeas corpus petition filed by one Gulzar Khan, who alleged that he had married at BMA Maharashtra (Bandra) and his wife had willingly converted to Islam. It was alleged that his in-laws had forcibly taken her to Banaras and illegally detained her there.
