Pooja Rani and Vikram, the petitioners before me, claim themselves to be major. They have pleaded that they have married against the wishes of respondent No.4 and 5 and seek protection to their life and liberty. They apprehend danger from respondent No. 4 and 5. They have placed on record photographs (Annexures P3) evidencing their marriage. The petitioners have submitted a representation dated 12.06.2020 (Annexure P5) to respondent No.2.

Without entering upon an exercise to evaluate the evidentiary value of the documents placed on the file, I dispose of the petition with directions to respondent No.2 to decide the representation of the petitioners (Annexure P3) within a period of one month and grant them protection, if any threat to their life and liberty is perceived.
