(ORAL) [1] Petitioner No.1-Gagandeep Kaur, aged about 17 years and petitioner No.2-Amritpal Singh, aged about 27 years, both of whom are in a 'live-in' relationship, have approached this Court seeking issuance of a direction to official respondents to protect their lives and liberty as they apprehend threat to the same at the hands of private respondents, who do not approve of their 'live-in' relationship.

[2] Having heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and without commenting anything as regards the veracity of the averments made in the petition and also as regards the sanctity of alleged relationship or age of the petitioners, the petition is disposed of with a direction to respondent No.2 - Senior Superintendent of Police, Sangrur to look into the matter and to dispose of representation dated 16.04.2024 (Annexure P-3) in accordance with law. In case, it is found that there is a genuine threat to the lives and liberty of the petitioners, then necessary steps warranted under law be taken thereupon at the earliest so as to ensure that no harm is caused to the petitioners.
