Bahraich Man And Others vs State Of U.P. Thru. Secy. Home Lko. And Others
The High Court held that the conversion FIR dated 13.09.2025 was a glaring example of authorities acting to score brownie points. The High Court held that despite the woman's statement that she had gone on her own accord and return of jewellery, the authorities failed to release the petitioner under Section 169 Cr.P.C. / Section 189 BNSS. The High Court quashed the FIR and ordered immediate release if not wanted elsewhere. The High Court imposed exemplary cost of Rs. 75,000 on the State, with Rs. 50,000 to petitioner no.1 and Rs. 25,000 to Legal Aid.
