The Bombay High Court on Thursday allowed a criminal writ petition filed by Khaled Kassem, an Egyptian citizen who sought issuance of a writ of habeas corpus against his sister-in-law and mother-in-law for alleged illegally confining his 11-month old son Kian.
Division bench of Justice SS Shinde and Justice NB Suryawanshi heard Kassem’s petition wherein it was alleged that following the sudden death of petitioner’s wife Soumi, his sister-in-law Paulami tried to force him to leave Kian with her in India and also asked him to leave his job in Algeria. It was further alleged that Paulami filed false charges of sexual harassment against the petitioner in order to secure Kian’s custody.
