The Punjab and Haryana High Court has held that a petition under Section 528 BNSS against a Sessions Court’s revisional order operates within an extraordinarily constricted domain and can amount to a disguised second revision, dismissing a challenge to an order directing delivery of about 514 kanals of land in Kaithal to a samadh.
The Punjab and Haryana High Court emphasized the importance of protecting eloping couples from legal harassment, citing Shakespeare to support the ruling. Justice Sumeet Goel stressed that courts should consider petitions to quash kidnapping cases involving eloping couples with significant latitude. The Court highlighted the need to use its inherent jurisdiction to dismiss such proceedings, considering the complete set of facts and circumstances of each case.
