Prayer made in the present petition is for protection of life and liberty of the petitioners, who had married against the consent of their parents. Both the parties are present in Court. Petitioners have appended copies of school certificates (Annexures P1 and P2) and photographs of marriage (Annexure P3). The marriage was solemnised on 13.11.2009. They are apprehending their arrest and also harassment by the police and family members of petitioner No.1, as they were not agreeable to the marriage.
Accordingly, the instant petition is disposed of with the direction to Senior Superintendent of Police, Hoshairpur that in case the petitioners move an application before the aforesaid authority to provide protection to their life and liberty, the same shall be considered and if required, necessary protection be provided to the petitioners. This order may not be treated as a seal of the Court on the marriage of the parties.
