The petitioners have preferred this criminal misc. petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C. for issuance of necessary directions to the official respondents to provide adequate security and protection to the petitioners on the ground that they are facing grave threat of life and liberty at the hands of respondent No.5, in view of solemnization of their marriage with each other on 21.12.2018.

[CRLMP-207/2019]

¶20

After hearing the petitioners present in person and on an overall consideration of the facts and circumstances of the

¶21

case, this Court is of the opinion that nobody can be permitted to take law in his own hands merely because marriage is not acceptable. Thus, this Court deems it proper to direct the petitioners to appear before the Station House Officer, Police Station Marwar Junction, District Pali, who shall hear the grievance of the petitioners and after analyzing the threat perceptions, if required so, may pass necessary orders.

¶22

Consequently, the present misc. petition stands disposed of by issuing direction to the Station House Officer, Police Station Marwar Junction, District Pali, to ensure necessary vigil that no harm is caused to the life and liberty of the petitioners at the hands of those, who are opposed to the marriage.

¶23

It is made clear that this order is not a proof of age and the marriage of the petitioners and any observations in this order shall not affect any criminal and civil proceedings initiated against the petitioners at the instances of their relatives.
