Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that petitioners have been in a live-in relationship and they are continuously being threatened with dire consequences by the private respondents. Hence, there is a genuine apprehension of the life of the petitioners being in peril. Resultantly, a representation dated 06.07.2025 (Annexure P-3) was also made to respondent No.2-Commissioner of Police, Panchkula, for protection of their life and liberty, but in vain. Learned counsel submits that the petitioners would be satisfied if directions are issued to respondent No.2-Commissioner of Police, Panchkula, to look into their representation (Annexure P-3) and take appropriate steps at the earliest. 3.
