**** JAISHREE THAKUR, J. (ORAL) The petitioners claim themselves to be major. They have pleaded that they have married against the wishes of respondent Nos. 4 & 5 seek protection to their life and liberty. They apprehend danger from respondent Nos. 4 & 5. They have placed on record photographs Annexure P-5 evidencing their marriage. The petitioners have also submitted a representation dated 31.12.2016 (Annexure P-6) to respondent No.2. Without entering upon an exercise to evaluate the evidentiary value of the documents placed on the file, I dispose of this petition with directions to respondent No.2 to decide the representation of the petitioners (Annexure P-6) within a period of one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this order and grant them protection, if any threat to their life and liberty is perceived. It is made clear that this order shall not be taken to protect the petitioners.
