CORAM:

HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE INDERJIT SINGH

Present:

Mr. Gurmeet Singh Guri, Advocate for the petitioners. **** INDERJIT SINGH, J.

Petitioners have filed this petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C. for issuance of directions to respondents No.2 and 3 to protect their life and liberty and to provide adequate security to protect them from respondent No.4, who is father of petitioner No.1. The petitioners, who are present in Court today, further contend that they being major have solemnized marriage with their own consent in accordance with law. The private respondent is not accepting the marriage of the petitioners and is extending threats to them. The copy of 'Aadhar' card of petitioner No.1 (Annexure p-1), copy of driving license of petitioner No.2 (Annexure P-2), copy of marriage certificate (Annexure P-3) and marriage photographs (Annexure P-4) have been placed on record.

Without going into the validity of the marriage, the present petition is disposed of with the directions to the petitioners to contact respondents No.2 and 3, who, after their satisfaction that the petitioners are actually facing threat, shall take necessary steps to protect the life and liberty of the petitioners from private respondent No.4, as per law. However, it is made clear that this order, in no way, will affect any other proceedings pending or to be filed against the petitioners etc., which are to be dealt with independently as per law.
