    The Allahabad High Court granted a habeas corpus petition filed by Savita Devi, directing the Superintendent of Nari Niketan (women's shelter), District Prayagraj, to immediately release her along with her male child. The court found that Savita Devi was above 18 years old based on ossification test reports, making her a major, and therefore there was no legal justification for her continued detention in the shelter. As a major, she was declared free to go wherever she wishes. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
