MP High Court Warns Rajasthan Cop Over Missing Newlyweds

The Indore bench of the Madhya Pradesh High Court has taken a strong stance against the Rajasthan Police for failing to produce a newlywed couple. The couple, Krishanpal Singh and Sunita Kumari, married on July 11, 2026, and had sought police protection due to threats from family members.

However, the petitioner, Lokendra Singh, alleged that the Bhawanimandi Police in Jhalawar detained the couple on August 12. Krishanpal was arrested under a false case, while Sunita was handed over to her family for illegal detention.

The High Court had directed the police authorities to produce the couple on August 19, but they failed to do so. During the September 1 hearing, the court was informed that the Bhawanimandi Police claimed Krishanpal was already arrested under a criminal case.

The court noted that the Bhawanimandi Police's memo completely ignored the High Court's prior directions without explanation, which amounts to potential contempt of court.

The bench, comprising Justice Subodh Abhyankar and Justice Alok Awasthi, ordered that a Rs 25,000 bailable warrant be issued against the Bhawanimandi SHO if Krishanpal is not produced on September 15.

Sunita's father claimed that she had gone on a pilgrimage with her aunt, but the court directed that she should also be produced for the next hearing. The HC also directed the SP of Jhalawar to appear via video conferencing on September 15 to explain the non-compliance.

The case highlights the importance of the judiciary in ensuring that the police authorities comply with court orders and protect the rights of individuals.

The Madhya Pradesh High Court's decision to issue a bailable warrant against the Rajasthan cop is a significant step in ensuring that the police authorities are held accountable for their actions.

The court's actions will be closely watched as the case unfolds, and the outcome will have significant implications for the rights of individuals and the rule of law in the country.

In conclusion, the MP High Court's warning to the Rajasthan cop is a strong message that the judiciary will not tolerate non-compliance with court orders and will take strong action to protect the rights of individuals.
