 The Lahore High Court has quashed a Hudood case registered against a newly wed couple and allowed them to move to the place of their choice. The court observed that once the girl had denied the allegations of abduction, there was no reason to continue court proceedings against the couple. Muhammad Bashir of Sargodha registered a case against Yasin, alleging that he had kidnapped his daughter Nusrat. Yasin moved a writ petition seeking cancellation of the FIR on the grounds that he had not kidnapped the girl, but married her of her free will. The girl recorded her statement, saying no one had kidnapped her and she married Yasin by choice. |
