Petitioners apprehend danger to their lives and liberty at the hands of private respondents, therefore, they have approached this Court by way of filing the instant petition.

The petition is disposed of with a direction to respondent no. 2 Senior Superintendent of Police, SAG Nagar, Mohali to look into the grievance of the petitioners as contained in representation (Annexure P-5) and take necessary steps to ensure that lives and liberty of the petitioners are not jeopardised at the hands of respondents no. 4 to 7. However, this direction will not validate the marriage said to have taken place between the petitioners and will have no effect on any civil or criminal action which could be initiated in the matter in accordance with law.
