CORAM:

HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE ARUN PALLI

Present:

Ms. Harpinder Kaur Sandhu, Advocate, for the petitioners.

ARUN PALLI, J. (ORAL) 1.

Prayer in this petition, filed under Section 482, Cr.P.C., is for issuance of the direction to respondent Nos. 1 to 3 to protect the lives and liberty of the petitioners from respondent Nos. 4 to 6. The petitioners contend that they being major, have solemnized their marriage in accordance with law. They further submit that respondent Nos. 4 to 6 are not accepting their marriage and adamant to separate them from each other by resorting to illegal means. They further submit that in view of the imminent danger to their lives and liberty, they have already moved a representation (Annexure P-4) before respondent No. 2.

2.

Keeping in view the seriousness of the matter but without going into the validity of the marriage, the present petition is disposed of with a direction to respondent No. 2, the Senior Superintendent of Police, Patiala, to take action as warranted by law on the representation moved by the petitioners and in the meantime to issue necessary orders to ensure that no harm is caused to the lives and liberty of the petitioners at the hands of respondent Nos. 4 to 6.
