CORAM : M.S. SONAK & PUSHPA V. GANEDIWALA, JJ.

DECEMBER 02, 2021.

Neither the petitioners nor their learned counsel is present today.

2] The record indicates that service is yet to be completed on respondent No.4. However, we find that no relief is claimed against respondent No.4. Therefore, this matter did not await service of respondent No.4.

3] The only relief sought for in this petition is to direct respondent Nos.1 and 2 to protect the life and liberty of the petitioners, who claimed to be adults and who got married out of their own freewill. A direction is sought against respondent No.3 that he should not interfere in the life of the petitioners or not intimidate the petitioners.

4] The petitioners residing Akola.

Respondent No.3 resides in Rajasthan. Therefore, we

36-WP-59-2020 are unable to appreciate the apprehension of the petitioners. In any case, we feel that no case is made out to invoke the extraordinary jurisdiction of this Court when the petitioners have several remedies which they can seek through the ordinary modes available under the law.

5] This matter has been pending since long, and therefore, we feel that no useful purpose will be served by keeping the matter pending hereafter. 6] In future, if there is real apprehension, it is always open to the petitioners to apply to the concerned Police Station, and the Police Station concerned can then consider the request of the petitioners in accord with law and on its own merits provided of course, the petitioners are ready to pay the necessary charges in terms of the Rules.

7] With the aforesaid liberty, we dispose of this petition. There shall be no order for costs. (PUSHPA V. GANEDIWALA, J.) (M.S. SONAK, J.) Sumit AGRAWAL
