The Allahabad High Court has ordered the immediate release of an interfaith couple illegally detained by Uttar Pradesh Police without proper authorization. The court strongly condemned authorities for violating the adult woman's constitutional rights and succumbing to social pressure instead of protecting citizens' liberty. The judges emphasized that detention based on religious differences is unacceptable in a democratic nation governed by rule of law, directing police officials to ensure the couple's safety and security.
