LAHORE: The Lahore High Court on Wednesday disposed of a habeas corpus petition seeking recovery of a minor child from the illegal custody of a man who works as a servant of Khawar Manika.

Earlier, the Pakpattan city police produced the minor before the court after recovering him from the custody of the respondent father.

Justice Amjad Rafiq handed over the minor to his mother and disposed of the petition.

Petitioner Anum contended that she married Shiraz and gave birth to a child Basit, now aged three. She alleged her husband kicked her out of the house and snatched the baby.
