Read Comprehension-

On Valentine’s Day eve, a runaway couple, who were separated following a complaint by the girl’s father, reunited for the first time since May last year, when the man was arrested. His wife in the meanwhile gave birth to their daughter at a women’s shelter home. The Delhi High Court on Wednesday, allowed 27 years old Ankit Kumar, to meet his wife and four months old daughter, during reasonable hours at Nirmal Chayya Home for women here.

A Bench of Justices, Siddharth Mridul and I.S. Meheta also asked the child welfare committee (CWC) to decide on the plea made by Mr. Kumar seeking the release of his wife and wife within five working days. “In the meanwhile, the Superintendent, Nirmal Chayya Complex, where the mother-daughter is currently lodged is directed to permit the petitioner, Ankit Kumar, to interact with them at all reasonable hours, in accordance with law and rules”, the Bench said. Mr. Kumar, a Delhi resident, had moved a habeas corpus petition before the High Court urging that his wife be produced before the court and seeking permission to take them home. Advocate Amresh Anand, who represented Mr. Kumar, submitted before the court, that to date his client, “has not even seen his daughter, forget about caressing her”. Me. Anand urged the “kind indulgence” of the High Court in reuniting the small family. Be said that Mr. Kumar and his wife had known each other for the past few years as they were residing in the same area. Over a period of time, they became very close and fell in love with each other.  When the girl turned 18, Mr. Kumar and she secretly solemnised their marriage at Birla Mandir on February 18, last year. A week later, fearing that her father had come to know about their marriage, the girl ran away with Mr. Kumar, said the advocate. The couple rented a flat in Noida and stated leaving there as husband and wife. The girl’s father launched a police complaint saying his daughter was less than 18 years old and had been kidnapped. Based on FIR, Mr. Kumar was arrested and his wife was taken to the shelter home. After about seven months of legal proceedings, Mr. Kumar was acquitted of all charges of the local court here. Immediately after the release, he tried to speak to his wife but was denied permission. Mr. Anand said that the mother-daughter are not allowed to go out of the shelter home and she even cannot make any calls. Mr. Kumar wrote the CWC and also to Nirmal Chayya seeking the release of his wife and daughter in December last year. When his plea remained unanswered for about two months, he moved the High Court.
