A bench headed by chief justice Altamas Kabir after an in-chamber hearing, ordered that the girl, whose age after the ossification test had been found to be between 16 and 18 years, is free to go wherever she likes.
The order directing her to be released from Nari Niketan in Jaipur was passed after hearing Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate (ACJM) and SSP, Kishangarh Bas, Alwar district, in presence of the father of the girl.
