HABC No.17/11 Hon’ble Servesh Kumar Gupta, J. Mr. M.K. Ray, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. B.S. Parihar, Brief Holder for the State. In compliance of this Court’s order dated 17.10.2011, the girl Smt. Arti along with her parents Ram Prakash and Smt. Dhanwati was produced by the S.H.O., Kichha before this Court. Smt. Arti was interviewed by this Court, asking her desire whether she wishes to accompany with Baldev Singh (petitioner) or with her parents. This enquiry was conducted in the open Court, removing the impact and influence of her husband as well as of her parents, in their physical absence. She expressed rejoice to accompany her husband Baldev Singh. She also stated that she is wedded with the petitioner and is on her family way at the advance stage as a result of matrimonial relations with him. The certificate of marriage is also annexed with the petition. Besides, the evidence of her advanced conception has also been annexed with the petition. This Court finds it appropriate to jettison the custody of Smt. Arti from her parents and to allow her to accompany with her husband from the Court itself. The S.H.O. Kichha is also directed to provide the protection to the petitioner and his wife and also to ensure their departure from Nainital in segregation from the parents of Smt. Arti. This disposes of the petition finally. (Servesh Kumar Gupta, J.) 08.11.2011 Rdang
