Father can’t be called kidnapper: HC refuses Habeas Corpus in parental custody dispute

Father can’t be called kidnapper: HC refuses Habeas Corpus in parental custody dispute The Allahabad High Court has reiterated the limited scope of habeas corpus in child custody disputes, holding that a parent cannot invoke writ jurisdiction merely to reclaim custody from the other parent unless the custody is demonstrably illegal or without authority of law. The Court refused to entertain a habeas corpus petition filed by a mother seeking custody of her two minor children from their father, stressing that any such disputes must ordinarily be resolved under statutory remedies. The Court refused to entertain a habeas corpus petition filed by a mother seeking custody of her two minor children from their father, emphasizing that such disputes must ordinarily be resolved under statutory remedies. Background and FactsThe petition arose out of a matrimonial dispute between the parties. The marriage between the petitioner-wife and respondent-husband was solemnised on 07.02.2010, and out of the wedlock two children were born, a son aged about 14 years and a daughter aged about 10 years. According to the petitioner, the marital relationship had broken down, and she was compelled to leave the matrimonial home. On 04.06.2022, it was claimed by the petitioner that the respondent-husband forcibly took away both children at gunpoint and had since retained their custody. The petitioner contended that despite approaching various authorities, no effective relief had been granted, prompting her to invoke the extraordinary jurisdiction of the High Court by filing a habeas corpus petition for production and custody of the minors.

No Advocate Deserves to Be Threatened With Judicial Custody: Young Lawyers Urges Withdrawal of AP Bar’s Resolution on Judge’s Conduct

No Advocate Deserves to Be Threatened With Judicial Custody: Young Lawyers Urges Withdrawal of AP Bar’s Resolution on Judge’s Conduct Young members of the Bar have strongly criticised the Andhra Pradesh High Court Advocates Association over its 06 May 2026 resolution, expressing deep disappointment. They said no advocate, especially a newly enrolled lawyer, deserves to be threatened with judicial custody for placing a file loudly. Young members of the Bar have written a strong letter to the Andhra Pradesh High Court Advocates Association expressing deep disappointment with the resolution passed on 06 May 2026 and the letter sent to the Hon’ble Chief Justice. In their communication dated 07 May 2026, the young advocates said they were upset because the resolution and the letter did not reflect their voice. They reminded the Association that the justice system expects the Bar and the Bench to treat each other with dignity and mutual respect, and that the Association represents both senior and junior members. The young lawyers said that no advocate deserves to be threatened with judicial custody for placing a file loudly, especially a newly enrolled advocate. They questioned whether the bench’s response was proportional to the action. They said the Association failed to consider this while passing the resolution.

5. Meta moves top consumer court against Facebook’s ‘e-commerce platform’ classification

Meta moves top consumer court against Facebook’s ‘e-commerce platform’ classification

Meta moves top consumer court against Facebook’s ‘e-commerce platform’ classification Global tech giant Meta Platforms has moved India’s top consumer court challenging a January order of a top tribunal Central Consumer Protection Authority (CCPA) that classified Facebook as an ‘e-commerce platform’ under consumer protection laws in a case related to the alleged unauthorised listing and sale of walkie-talkies on Facebook Marketplace. The appeal came up before the Delhi bench of the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission (NCDRC) on Wednesday, where the commission admitted Meta’s appeal and issued notice to the consumer authority. The commission also restrained CCPA from taking coercive action against Meta, noting that the company had already deposited the ₹10 lakh penalty imposed under the order. The matter has been listed for further hearing in October 2026. Although Meta deposited the penalty amount, it challenged the legal classification of Facebook Marketplace as an ‘e-commerce platform’, arguing that it does not function like online marketplaces such as Amazon or Flipkart and that the classification could have wider commercial and regulatory implications for the company. An ‘e-commerce entity’ is defined as “any person who owns, operates or manages a digital or electronic facility or platform for electronic commerce", under the Consumer Protection (E-Commerce) Rules, 2020. Meta argued that Facebook Marketplace should not automatically be treated as an e-commerce entity under consumer protection laws and questioned the applicability of the Consumer Protection Act, E-Commerce Rules and advertising guidelines to its platform. The company further argued that Facebook Marketplace is merely a ‘notice board’ for users to post listings and not a commercial marketplace facilitating transactions.
