CORAM:

HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE GURVINDER SINGH GILL Present:- Mr. Namit Khurana, Advocate, for the petitioners. (Proceedings conducted through video conferencing) ***** GURVINDER SINGH GILL, J . (Oral) Petitioner No.1-Harleen Kaur aged 18 years and petitioner No.2-Parmeet Singh aged 20 years, 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 No.4 to 7.

Learned counsel for the petitioners has submitted that the petitioners are fond of each other and intend to marry after petitioner No.2 attains marriageable age. It has been submitted that the private respondents are however, opposed to the said relationship and have been extending threats to the petitioners constraining petitioner No.1 to leave her parental home and she has thus joined the company of petitioner No.2 and both of them are presently living in a 'live-in' relationship.
