Case History
Case Summary: Ashutosh Kumar v. State of U.P. (Crl.A. No. 298/2010) On 8 February 2010, the Supreme Court allowed Ashutosh Kumar's appeal against the Allahabad High Court's order. The Court found that the FIR for kidnapping under Sections 363 and 366 IPC was baseless because the alleged victim, Gaurav Vashistha, was a major (aged 21) who voluntarily left with the petitioner and was present in court to confirm she was not kidnapped. The Court quashed FIR No. 1135 of 2009, holding that a major woman has freedom to choose her companion, and rejected the State's argument that she needed parental consent to leave home.
