(ORAL) Munmun Gayan and Dharminder Singh, the petitioners before me, claim themselves to be major. They have pleaded that they have married against the wishes of respondents No. 4 and 5 and seek protection to their life and liberty. They apprehend danger from respondents No. 4 and 5. They have placed on record photographs (Annexure P-4) and marriage certificate (Annexures P-5) evidencing their marriage. The petitioners have submitted a representation dated 22.11.2019, Annexure P-6 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-6 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.
