VIJENDER SINGH MALIK,J(ORAL)
Sukhchet Singh and Jaswinder Kaur, the petitioners before me, claim themselves to be major and claiming that they have married against the wishes of respondents No. 4 to 7, seek protection to their life and liberty. They apprehend danger to them from the side of respondents no. 4 to 7. They have placed on record marriage certificate and photographs, Annexures P-3 and P-4 respectively, evidencing their marriage. The petitioners have submitted representation dated 30.3.2013 Annexure P-5 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 the direction to respondent no.2 to decide the representation of the petitioners, Annexure P-5 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
Crl. Misc. No.M-10522 of 2013 =2=
not be taken to protect the petitioners from legal action for violation of law if any committed by them.
