Madhya Pradesh High Court Denies 24-Hour Police Protection to Interfaith Couple Without Clear Threat EvidencePreviousNext

The Madhya Pradesh High Court dismissed a plea by an interfaith couple seeking 24-hour police protection, emphasizing that such extraordinary security requires clear, substantive evidence of imminent threat. The couple, married in 2019 after the woman converted from Islam to Hinduism, reported threats from her family and others. The court noted that general apprehensions or isolated incidents warrant regular police patrolling, not continuous armed guards, and cautioned against courts acting as security agencies without clear proof.
