Mr. Deepender Singh Matya, Advocate for the petitioner(s).

Shekher Dhawan, J.

Both the petitioners are present in the Court and are identified by their counsel.

Petitioners have sought protection of their lives and liberty, inter alia, taken the plea that they performed the marriage with each other, whereas private respondents are not accepting their marriage and now they are apprehending danger to their lives and liberty from private respondents. Learned counsel for the petitioners contended that petitioners performed marriage on 5.3.2017 at Masjid Punhana, District Mewat, Haryana. Petitioners have also taken the plea that they are major and have performed their marriage with free will.

Having considered the submissions made by learned counsel for the petitioners and perusal of record, the Superintendent of Police, Nuh at Mewat is directed to consider the representation dated 24.3.2017 (Annexure P-4) and issue necessary orders, as warranted by law, so as to ensure that no Deepak Kumar Bhardwaj 2017.03.31 13:21 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this document

Criminal Misc. No. M- 10911 of 2017 harm is caused to the life and liberty of the petitioners at the hands of private respondents.

However, it is also made clear that this order shall not be taken to validate the alleged marriage of the petitioners or entitle them for any protection against their arrest or continuance of any criminal proceedings, if they are found involved in the commission of any cognizable offence. In case the petitioners had committed any offence, the law will take its own course.

With the aforesaid observations made and directions issued, the present petition stands disposed of.
