CW-2025-0052Jabalpur, Madhya PradeshJudgment 28 January 2025

Jabalpur Man vs The State of Madhya Pradesh and Others

The High Court found that the SHO, Mahila Thana, Jabalpur illegally issued a Look Out Circular against the petitioner without any basis, resulting in his detention at Hyderabad International Airport despite a trial court order permitting him to travel abroad. The Court noted the SHO failed to withdraw the LOC even after the petitioner was granted bail and travel permission, and the SP failed to periodically review the LOC. The SHO was placed under suspension and a departmental enquiry was initiated. The Court strongly deprecated the conduct of the SP who failed to produce departmental enquiry records.
