Indore Bench of Madhya Pradesh High Court sternly warns Rajasthan Police, issuing a Rs 25,000 bailable warrant against Bhawanimandi Police SHO of Jhalawar if newlyweds Krishanpal and Sunita Singh are not produced by September 15. The petition, filed by Lokendra Singh, seeks the couple's release following an August 12 detention by Bhawanimandi Police.
The High Court's August 19 order directed police to bring the couple to court, but Bhawanimandi Police claimed Krishanpal was already in custody under a criminal case. On September 1, sub-inspector Pramod Rathore of Police Station Alot (Ratlam) testified that Bhawanimandi Police denied receiving the High Court's prior directives.
The court observed this defiance as potential contempt and ordered the warrant against the SHO, with Sunita's production also demanded.
