In how much time high court grants couple protection?

I have done a court marriage, and the girl’s father has lodged a kidnapping FIR against me. What should I do? If I file a writ petition in the Allahabad High Court seeking protection, how much time does it usually take to get protection?

If both of you are majors and married by free consent, a kidnapping FIR is not legally sustainable. You should immediately apply for anticipatory bail and file a writ petition for protection in the Allahabad High Court. The High Court usually grants interim protection within 1–3 days, sometimes even the same day, if documents are complete. For further legal assistance, contact us on our helpline number
