The Kerala High Court on Wednesday said that the young woman Monalisa Bhosle, who shot to fame during the Prayagraj Kumbh Mela prima facie appears to be a major and granted transit bail of one month to her husband so that he can move a Madhya Pradesh court to seek anticipatory bail in a kidnapping case against him.Monalisa Bhosle’s husband, Mohammed Farman Khan, is accused of kidnapping her in a case registered by Madhya Pradesh police on a complaint by her father, who has claimed that she is a minor.
The court also said that the documents produced by the applicants along with their bail plea would substantiate their apprehension of an inter-state arrest. "The grounds raised by the applicant No.1 (Farman) for an order of transit bail appears to be reasonable to avoid a minimum threat to his life and personal liberty in the jurisdiction where the FIR is registered. "The applicant No.1 has satisfied this court regarding his inability to seek anticipatory bail from the court which has territorial jurisdiction to take cognisance of the offence immediately," it said.
