ORDER

The petitioner is a Doctor by profession. She fell in love with a relative and got married to him. It appears that the petitioner's husband is not from a economically sound background. 2.The petitioner alleges that her family members who are opposed to the marriage, are taking steps for separating the two. Even though the petitioner is strong in her stand and conviction, the couple are allegedly facing life threat. In this regard, the petitioner had given a complaint on 10.03.2020. 3.The grievance of the petitioner is that even without enquiring the offending persons, the enquiry was closed. That has necessitated the petitioner to move this Court. https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/ 1/4
