The Chhattisgarh High Court ruled that pending criminal cases alone do not justify externment without proof of public threat. Meanwhile, the Madhya Pradesh High Court allowed a man facing a cheating FIR to travel abroad for his disabled son's treatment, affirming the right to life and personal liberty under Article 21.
