In this light, the Court held,
“Having regard to the nature of the allegations, it is not understood how and why the Appellant should have been detained in India. In our considered opinion, the Chief Judicial Magistrate, Kurukshetra, erred in directing this Appellant not to leave the country without prior permission of the Court.”
The apprehension of the High Court that the husband of the complainant might leave the country cannot be a ground to deny the appellant permission to go back to the USA where he has been working for the last 10 years, the Court noted while allowing the appellant to travel abroad.
