Telangana HC rejects illegal detention plea: Woman married by choice; family misled court, petition dismissed
Telangana HC HYDERABAD: The Telangana high court has dismissed a habeas corpus petition alleging illegal detention of a woman after it was revealed that the 'detenue' got married of her own free will. A division bench, comprising Justices Moushumi Bhattacharya and BR Madhusudhan Rao, while dismissing the petition, said that they did not find any merit in the petition. The bench also noted that it was the third time the petitioner's counsel failed to present relevant facts justifying the plea. The respondents (Warangal police) submitted written submissions along with a letter from the woman to police, confirming her decision to marry. They also placed before the bench the wedding photos. The petition was filed by the woman's family, alleging police inaction in their missing complaint lodged in May.

Telangana HC questions delay in filing vacate stay petition
HYDERABAD: Justice Moushumi Bhattacharya of the Telangana High Court, while hearing a criminal petition filed by Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy, raised pointed questions regarding the inordinate delay in filing a vacate stay petition in a 2019 SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) case. Revanth, the then Malkajgiri MP filed the criminal petition, seeking quashing of the proceedings pending before the Special Sessions Judge for Trial of Cases under the SCs/STs (POA) Act, 1989-cum-VII Additional District and Sessions Judge, Rangareddy district at LB Nagar. The FIR, registered in 2019 at Chandanagar Police Station, invoked Sections 447, 427, 506 read with 34 IPC, and Sections 2(iv)(X) of the SCs/STs (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989. During the hearing, Justice Bhattacharya questioned Nimma Narayana, counsel for the de-facto complainant N Peddi Raju, Director of Razole Constituency SC Mutually Aided Cooperative Housing Society Limited, about the timing of the vacate stay petition, pointing out that the petition was filed nearly five years after the stay order dated September 22, 2020 was granted. That order had dispensed with Revanth's appearance before the Special Sessions Court, except when specifically directed to appear.
