nos.4 and 5 & other family members of petitioner No.1, in view of solemnization of their marriage with each other on 02.11.2019.

¶21

After hearing the learned counsel for the parties and on an overall consideration of the facts and circumstances of the case, this Court is of the view 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 Superintendent of Police, Nagaur who shall hear the grievance of the petitioners and after analysing the threat perceptions, if required so, may pass necessary orders.

¶22

Consequently, the present misc. petition stands disposed of by issuing direction to the Superintendent of Police, Nagaur 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.
