  "account": "The Punjab and Haryana High Court has denied custody of an infant to a man accused of trafficking, denying his habeas corpus petition. The court stated that placing the child with the alleged trafficker would be unjust. The man claimed to have adopted the child for Rs 8 lakh, but the court emphasized it would not examine the validity of the adoption deed. The man was an accused in a child trafficking case, and the court dismissed his petition, leaving it to the trial court to determine the allegations' truth.",
