Though, the Court cannot give any observation with regard to such divorce obtained by petitioner No.1, however, considering the fact that the limited scope of the present petition is for providing protection to the life and liberty of the petitioners, who alleges that they have subsequently performed marriage and have given a representation (Annexure P4) to respondent No.2, this petition is disposed of with a direction to the Superintendent of Police, Panipat to look into grievance of the petitioners expressed in the representation (Annexure P4) and take appropriate action, if any, warranted in the circumstances, for the limited purpose of providing protection to the life and liberty of the petitioners.

However, it is clarified that nothing observed in this order shall have any bearing on any subsequent matrimonial proceedings, in case, initiated by ex-husband of petitioner No.1 namely Akhilesh and the same, if any, will be decided, in accordance with law.
