Versus

Present:

Mr. Agam Jund Mullanpur, Advocate for the petitioners.

Anil Kshetarpal, J.

Gayatri Pandit and Anil Kumar, the petitioners before this Court, claim themselves to be major. It has been pleaded that they have married against the wishes of respondent No.4 and 5 and seek protection to their life and liberty. They apprehend danger from respondent No. 4 and 5. They have placed on record marriage certificate (Annexure P4) evidencing their marriage. The petitioners have submitted a representation dated 19.10.2020 (Annexure P5) to respondent No.2.

Without entering upon an exercise to evaluate the evidentiary value of the documents placed on the file, this Court disposes of the writ petition with directions to respondent No.2 to decide the representation of the petitioners (Annexure P5) within a period of one month and grant them protection, if any threat to their life and liberty is perceived. It is made clear that this order shall not be taken to protect the petitioners from legal action for violation of law, if any, committed by them. (Anil Kshetarpal) Judge October 23, 2020 "DK"
