This document is a court order from the High Court of Jharkhand regarding a habeas corpus petition filed by a husband (the petitioner) seeking the return of his wife (respondent No. 6) from her family. The court interviewed the wife separately and found she was under duress from her family to state she wanted to stay with them. The court then allowed the husband to take his wife home to live together freely and directed police to ensure their safety, as the wife feared harm from her family due to inter-caste marriage. The court also directed informing the Chief Minister about allegations against a Cabinet Minister made in the wife's statement.
