After marriage, the husband of the detenue is living and earning in Kuwait and detenue is living with her parents, thus, it cannot be said that she is in illegal detention. It may be possible that detenue herself does not want to go to her matrimonial house when her husband is not living there. Even if there is any grievance, the husband has remedy to approach before appropriate forum, but not the father-in-law, as he has no locus at all.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">[<span style=\"font-weight: bold; color: #632423;\">Aarfa Bano v State of U.P., <a href=\"http:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink\/5fxO5HaZ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">2023 SCC OnLine All 231<\/a>, Order dated 16-05-2023<\/span>]<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p>Advocates who appeared in this case :<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left: 18pt;\">Counsel for Petitioner:- Advocate Sikandar Zulqarnain Khan;<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left: 18pt;\">Counsel for Respondent:- Government Advocate.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><i>Allahabad High Court said that the detenue is living with her parents, thus, it cannot be said that she is in illegal detention.<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":67512,"featured_media":290504,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3,10],"tags":[2822,3227,3365,30503,31828,3118,2886,14781],"class_list":["post-294122","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-casebriefs","category-highcourts","tag-Allahabad_High_Court","tag-custody","tag-detention","tag-detenu","tag-father-in-law","tag-Habeas_Corpus","tag-Illegal_Detention","tag-locus-standi"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.4 (Yoast SEO v26.4) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Father-in-law has no locus to file habeas Corpus plea seeking custody of Daughter- in- law: Allahabad High Court | SCC Blog<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Allahabad High Court held that Father-in-law has no locus to file habeas Corpus plea seeking custody of Daughter- in- law\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/blog\/post\/2023\/06\/07\/father-in-law-no-locus-to-file-habeas-corpus-plea-custody-of-daughter-in-law-allahabad-hc\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Can a father-in-law file a habeas Corpus petition seeking custody of Daughter- in- law?
