HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT ALLAHABAD HABEAS CORPUS WRIT PETITION No. - 1399 of 2026 Court No. - 73 HON'BLE SANDEEP JAIN, J. 1. The instant habeas corpus petition has been filed alleging that the corpus, Smt. Sapna Bharti, is the wife of the petitioner, Vishnu, whose marriage was solemnized on 26.06.2026 against the wishes of the parents of the corpus. It is alleged that, subsequent to the marriage, the corpus has been kept in the illegal detention of respondent No. 7, Sunil Bharti, who is the father of the corpus. In this regard, a complaint was also made by the petitioner to the Superintendent of Police, Gaya, Bihar, on 31.08.2026; however, neither has the corpus been recovered nor has the accused been arrested. 2. I have heard learned counsel for the petitioner and perused the documents annexed with the petition. 3. It appears that the corpus is presently in the custody of her father, Sunil Bharti, who is residing in Gaya, Bihar, and the petitioner has also made a complaint to the Superintendent of Police, Gaya, Bihar. Thus, no cause of action for filing the instant habeas corpus petition has arisen within the territorial jurisdiction of this Court. 4. Accordingly, the instant habeas corpus petition is dismissed as not maintainable for want of territorial jurisdiction, with liberty to the petitioner to institute an appropriate proceeding before the competent forum.
