The Allahabad High Court recently cancelled an FIR filed by a woman’s father against her husband, calling the police “nosy parkers” with “no business” investigating marriages instead of crimes. The court also imposed a cost of Rs 1,000 on the police officers and Rs 5,000 on the woman’s father, payable to her. Justices J J Munir and Tarun Saxena, while allowing the couple’s petition, held that there was “absolutely no case worth investigation” and that the police were “utterly wasting their time” by continuing the probe. Justices J J Munir and Tarun Saxena emphasised that the liberty enjoyed by an adult includes the liberty to marry a person of his/her choice.
