Justice Pankaj Naqvi and Justice Vivek Agarwal were hearing the plea which was filed by the husband and according to the husband, on 8th December, 2020, his wife was handed over to her parents against her wishes by Child Welfare Committee.

The corpus that is the wife was presented before the Court and while referring to the birth certificate of the corpus, it was proved that the corpus was born on 4th October, 2020, hence she had attained the age of majority.
