Maha: HC refuses to grant police protection for inter-faith couple

Maha: HC refuses to grant police protection for inter-faith couple

Mumbai, Dec 12 (UNI) The Bombay High Court has refused to grant police protection to an interfaith couple observing that the State cannot be expected to provide police protection to a couple solely because they wish to live together in a live-in relationship, their lawyer said here on Thursday.
The court was hearing a habeas corpus petition filed by a 20-year-old Muslim boy seeking direction to police to produce 19-year-old Hindu girl, who had been sent to a shelter home in Mumbai by police over an issue of living with a Muslim person.
In the previous hearing, the court had directed police to produce the girl before the court, following which the girl was produced before a division bench led by Justice Bharati Dangre.
