Guddi, 17, lived in the village of Hari Camp Majnoon Chand District Hyderabad. He belongs to the minority community of the Koolhi caste. His parents were illiterate and peasants who lived respectablely in the village. Unfortunately, Guddi was abducted by the owner.
Guddi`s parents were terribly upset and appalled by this act of the owner. Soon, they came to the LRF-Dastageer Hyderabad legal aid center and shared the incident with the girl and sought legal assistance. The LRF-DLAC panel of lawyers received free legal assistance and registered the case in the High Court, Hyderabad Bench. After that, the Honourable Supreme Court transmitted the protection order for Guddi and his family to the S.H.O. and ordered the FIR to be filed against the author.
