Bengaluru, Nov 29: A day after the parents of Insha Khaleel, a student of St Agnes College, Mangaluru, filed a Habeas Corpus petition, the eloped girl and her husband appeared before the Karnataka High Court on Friday.
Insha Khaleel's father, who filed a Habeas Corpus petition, had urged the court to give directions to the Ullal police to produce the couple.
The girl reportedly told the court that she married Bharatraj of her own volition and there was no force or compulsion.
Earlier the girl's parents had filed a missing complaint and accused Bharatraj of kidnapping their daughter.
According to sources, Insha Khaleel, who was in love with the bus conductor, married him in a temple in Yenmur village in Sullia Taluk on November 19.
The accused Bharatraj urged the court to direct the police to withdraw abduction case against him as the girl was not a minor and she married him out of her own will. He also produced certain documents before the judge.
The single judge bench presided over by Justice A N Venugopal Gowda granted interim stay of six weeks against conducting investigation in the abduction case and adjourned the session.
Assistant Commissioner of Police Pavan Nijjur was in the High Court.
