Allahabad High Court Orders Immediate Release of Minor, Seeks Reports from Police and JudgePreviousNext

The Lucknow bench of the Allahabad High Court ordered the immediate release of a minor detained under judicial custody, citing illegal detention and procedural lapses. The court criticized the police and trial court for failing to verify the minor's age and not following Supreme Court guidelines from the Satender Kumar Antil vs CBI case, which emphasize safeguards in arrests for offences punishable up to seven years. The bench sought affidavits from involved officials and warned of appropriate action.
