Bombay High Court Challenges Police on Missing Woman Case

The Bombay High Court criticized the Maharashtra police for their ineffective investigation in locating a missing woman who left her baby behind to visit Rajasthan. The court directed police officials from Maharashtra and Rajasthan to coordinate efforts to produce the woman in court by June 20.

The Bombay High Court on Tuesday criticized the Maharashtra police for the ''superficial'' approach in their probe into locating a woman who went missing after visiting Rajasthan three months ago, leaving her baby behind.

A division bench comprising Justices Bharati Dangre and Manjusha Deshpande instructed the superintendent of police, Kolhapur, to work with his counterpart in Jalod, Rajasthan, to ensure the woman is found and brought to court on June 20.

Expressing disbelief, the bench noted, ''It is unbelievable that police machinery of two states, Maharashtra and Rajasthan, were unable to trace a woman.''
