H.S. GREWAL, J. (ORAL) 1.

The petitioners are seeking a direction to the official respondents to protect their life and liberty as they apprehend danger from private respondents. It is stated in the petition that petitioners have performed their marriage, which is against the will of private respondents and they have apprehension that the private respondents might cause physical harm to them.

2.

Perusal of the record shows that both the petitioners being major, got married against the wishes of private respondents. Ever since then, the petitioners are being threatened with dire consequences by the private respondents. Resultantly, a representation dated 25.05.2026 (Annexure P-5) was also made to respondent No.2 - Senior Superintendent of Police, Ferozepur wherein a mention has been made about the alleged threat perception. Despite the official respondents having been communicated about the alleged threat perception, no steps have been taken to come to the rescue of the petitioners.
