The Punjab and Haryana High Court intervened in a case where a young woman from Phillaur, Jalandhar, was allegedly sold in Bahrain by her live-in partner. Justice Alok Jain directed the authorities to collaborate for the immediate rescue of the victim. The urgency of the situation reflects the broader issue of human trafficking, necessitating coordinated efforts for her safe return.
The Delhi High Court today dismissed a plea seeking to alter boundaries and relocate capitals, emphasizing that only Parliament can modify state boundaries. The petitioner’s request to divide the joint High Court for Punjab and Haryana was also rejected as beyond the court’s jurisdiction, citing Article 3 of the Constitution. The PIL was consequently rejected.
