...Respondents

CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE ARUN MONGA Present :

Mr. Amit Kumar Saini, Advocate, for the petitioners.

Mr. Vikrant Pamboo, DAG, Haryana.

(Presence marked through video conference).

ARUN MONGA, J.(ORAL) Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners. The contents of the petition along with Annexures thereof have been perused. The petitioners are fearful that since the marriage has been solemnized against the wishes of respondents No.4 and 5 i.e brother and mother of petitioner No.1, they may go to the extent of committing honour killing. The petitioners, therefore, had approached respondent No.2 by filing representation which has not been adverted till date.

Without commenting on the merits of the case, the instant present petition is disposed of with a direction to respondent No.2 i.e. Superintendent of Police, Hisar to verify the contents of representation dated 16.07.2020 (Annexure P-4) seeking protection of life and liberty, and if necessary, requisite steps be taken, in accordance with law for granting protection of life and liberty to the petitioners. It is clarified that this order shall neither be treated as a stamp SONU 2020.07.20 04:10 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this document

of this Court qua marriage of the petitioners, nor any reflection on the merits of the contentions raised by them in the present petition. The petition stands disposed of accordingly.
