(ORAL) Shivpreet Kaur and Rajinderpal Singh, the petitioners before me, claim themselves to be major. They have pleaded that they have married against the wishes of respondent No. 4 and seek protection to their life and liberty. They apprehend danger from respondent No. 4. They have placed on record marriage certificate and photographs, Annexures P-3 and P-4, respectively evidencing their marriage. The petitioners have submitted a representation dated 8.6.2019, Annexure P-5 to respondent No. 2. Without entering upon an exercise to evaluate the evidentiary value of the documents placed on the file, I dispose of the petition with directions to respondent No. 2 to decide the representation of the petitioners, Annexure P-5 within a period of one month and grant them protection, if any threat to their life and liberty is perceived.
