Landmark Judgment: Rukshana & Anr. v. Govt. of NCT of Delhi & Ors.
2007 SCC OnLine Del 2059 : (2007) 2 DMC 8

FIR under Sections 363/366A/368 IPC quashed where a 16½ year-old girl voluntarily left her guardian's protection, married the accused of her own free will, and the couple were living together with a child. Delhi HC held that mere minority under the School Leaving Certificate does not by itself sustain a kidnapping charge when the girl herself confirms she went willingly, without force or enticement continuing the prosecution would only re-victimise her and the child.

When can it be used?
Whenever a "kidnapping" FIR under Section 363/366A IPC is filed by parents against a self-arranged/love marriage, and the girl (even if a minor per school records) herself deposes that she left home voluntarily and married of her own accord to argue quashing under Section 482 CrPC / Section 528 BNSS on the ground that no "taking or enticing" by the accused is made out.

📜 ₹9.69 lakh frozen over a ₹2.48 lakh disputed transaction for over a year.
A recent Rajasthan High Court judgment (20 Aug 2026), disposing of 105 connected petitions, lays down key safeguards for bank-account freezes: lawful authority, a genuine link to the offence, an identified disputed amount, and proportional restraint.
The Court also clarified the difference between temporary holds, seizure and formal attachment, and what a freeze notice should disclose.
I’ve explained the complete mechanism, grievance route and deadlines in my detailed blog.

📖 Case Name: Samruddhi Co-operative Housing Society Ltd. v. Mumbai Mahalaxmi Construction (P) Ltd., (2022) 4 SCC 103
🏗️ Think your builder delay case is barred because 2 years have passed?
⚖️ Not necessarily.
The Supreme Court held that where the builder has not made a valid offer of possession, the delay is a continuing wrong. A fresh cause of action arises every day the possession is withheld, so your complaint may still be maintainable under Section 69 of the Consumer Protection Act, 2019.
❗However, once a valid offer of possession is made, possession is accepted, or delay compensation is accepted without protest, the limitation period may begin to run.
