This Criminal Writ Petition has been filed under Article 226 of the Constitution of India for issuance of directions to respondent Nos. 2 and 3 to provide adequate protection to the petitioners at the hands of respondent Nos. 4 to 6. The petitioners apprehend imminent danger to their life and liberty from respondent Nos. 4 to 6, against whom, despite receipt of representation dated 05.05.2026, neither any action has been taken nor protection to the life and liberty of the petitioners has been ensured by respondent Nos. 2 and 3. 2.

Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that petitioner No.1 has been in a live in relationship with petitioner No.2. The private respondents have been extending threats of dire consequences to the petitioners as they are averse to their live in relationship. While drawing the attention of this Court to representation dated 05.05.2026 (Annexure P-3), learned counsel has submitted that the matter was reported to respondent No.2- Superintendent of Police, District Nuh, Haryana seeking police help but in vain. Learned counsel submits that the petitioners would be satisfied if directions are issued to respondent No.2Superintendent of Police, District Nuh, Haryana to look into the aforesaid representation and take appropriate steps at the earliest.
