the police station.

5.

The petitioners are present through video conference mode and are identified by their counsel, Mr. Vijay Dutt Gahtori and SI Ashwini Kr., PS Rajouri Garden.

6.

The certificate of marriage is already on record and as per the same, both the petitioners are adults and have married each other as per their own free will and desire. Respondent No. 1 is under an obligation to ensure personal safety and security of the petitioners and Mr. Sharma, learned counsel for and on behalf of respondent No. 1 undertakes that the same will be done.

7.

The mobile number of the SHO as well as the Beat Officer has been shared with the counsel for the petitioner and as and when a complaint/call is received from either of the petitioner, the same shall be duly addressed and appropriate action shall be taken.

8.

Since the prayers in the present petition are primarily against respondent No. 1, I am not inclined to issue notice to respondents Nos. 2 to 4.

9.

The petition is allowed and disposed of along with pending applications, if any.
