HC reaffirms primacy of life & liberty in case of runaway couple accused of misrepresenting girl's age
The petitioner had alleged that respondent No. 4, in seeking protection after claiming to have married the petitioner's minor daughter, misrepresented her age as a major. The court dismissed a petition seeking action under Section 340 CrPC (giving false and fabricated evidence) against an individual accused of filing a false affidavit and forged documents in a 2017 protection petition. Gurugram: The Punjab and Haryana High Court has reaffirmed the primacy of life and personal liberty as fundamental rights, dismissing a plea seeking action against a runaway couple accused of misrepresenting the girl's age in a protection plea. The decision, delivered by Justice Anoop Chitkara on 1 July, highlights the judiciary's stance on the sanctity of life and personal liberty as enshrined under Article 21 of the Indian Constitution, even when allegations of misrepresentation are involved. The case saw the petitioner, the girl's father, seeking action under Section 340 of the Criminal Procedure Code (CrPC) against respondent No. 4, who married his daughter and approached the court for protection in the 2017 petition. The petitioner alleged that the respondent had filed a false affidavit and forged documents in his 2017 protection petition, claiming to have married 'A' (the petitioner's daughter) as a major, when she was, in fact, a minor at the time of the wedding. The protection petition had been filed by the couple, apprehending threats due to familial opposition to their union. During the proceedings, it emerged that an Aadhaar card had been submitted in the protection plea to demonstrate 'A' had attained majority. While acknowledging the petitioner's grievance regarding the alleged misrepresentation of age, the High Court observed that the core of the original protection petition was the apprehension of a threat to the lives of respondent No. 4 and 'A'. Justice Chitkara's order meticulously pointed out that the actual date of birth of 'A' was a matter of evidence, and that in many cases, especially those involving births outside hospitals, accurate record-keeping of birth dates can be challenging. The court also considered the possibility of incorrect legal advice often given to runaway couples, leading to such petitions. Crucially, the judgment emphasised that respondent No. 4 had sought protection for his life, a right guaranteed under Article 21 of the Constitution of India. The Court stated, 'Even if the petitioner had claimed some misrepresentation, still, the relief sought was so paramount, so foundational, and so sacrosanct that this Court does not deem it appropriate to proceed against such a person simply because he might have used some forged document for the marriage, which was not under challenge before this Court.' Underscoring the human instinct for self-preservation, Justice Chitkara remarked, 'Self-preservation is the most fundamental human instinct. People go to great lengths to save their own lives and those of their families, friends, associates, and even strangers. Safeguarding life is at the core of India's Constitution, and if such protection is denied, the foundation could collapse, and the core would implode.' Given the sacrosanct nature of the relief sought in the protection petition—to save a life—the High Court concluded that it was not appropriate to interfere and initiate proceedings under Section 340 CrPC. The petition was consequently dismissed, with all pending applications disposed of. The ruling reinforces the judiciary's commitment to upholding fundamental rights, particularly the right to life, as a cornerstone of the constitutional framework.

Gang busted for Rs 50 lakh loan fraud using forged salary slips; 2 held in Indore
INDORE: Vijay Nagar police busted a gang involved in large-scale loan fraud using forged salary slips of a reputed company and arrested two men in this connection on Saturday. 'The accused were operating a sophisticated scam by exploiting loopholes in the banking system and presenting themselves as salaried employees of Blue Star Company to secure personal and vehicle loans worth several lakhs from multiple banks,' said ACP Aditya Patle. 'The fraud came to light following a complaint from HDFC Bank, which reported suspicious documents submitted during a loan application. The documents included fake salary slips and account statements showing regular salary credits from Blue Star Company,' he said. During the investigation, it was found that the accused had opened a current account in the name of Blue Star using forged GST and business registration documents under the name of an AC technician associated with the company. They regularly transferred fixed amounts from this fake company account to their own and their associates' accounts, portraying them as monthly salaries. The arrested accused have been identified as Ravi Kumar Pal (32), a resident of Sadar Pur, Noida, and Devendra Singh (30), a resident of Aanshal Town, Meerut. Both confessed during interrogation to having obtained documents like Aadhaar and PAN cards in fabricated names. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Why seniors are rushing to get this Internet box – here's why! Techno Mag Learn More Undo 'Devendra, for instance, opened a private bank account in the name of a fictitious person, Dev Sharma, and used that to secure an Rs 11 lakh loan from another private bank by showing fake salary credits,' he said. 'Ravi Pal used similar tactics by manipulating Aadhaar-linked mobile numbers. He convinced an acquaintance, Shailesh Ahirwar, to link his (Ravi's) number to Shailesh's Aadhaar card. Later, he used OTPs to update Shailesh's address to Indore and created a fake PAN card in Shailesh's name with his own photograph. Using this identity, he opened a bank account, produced forged salary slips, and secured another Rs 11 lakh loan from a private bank,' he said. The accused are believed to have previously defrauded several banks of nearly Rs 50 lakh. Encouraged by past success, they attempted another loan using similar methods when HDFC's internal verification raised suspicion, prompting a police complaint. Both accused have been produced before court and are currently in police custody for further interrogation. Investigators are now probing the extent of the scam and identifying other possible accomplices.
