The Madhya Pradesh High Court held that a major woman has the right to live according to her own wishes and cannot be unlawfully detained by police. However, the Court clarified that she cannot reside as the wife of a man who is below the legally prescribed marriageable age.
In Bengaluru, bike taxi riders protested the High Court’s ban on their services, seeking government support and clear regulations for operations. Police detained them for protesting without permission, and the riders emphasized the economic impact of the ban on their livelihoods. They urged the government for a policy addressing safety and job security.
