petitioner No.1 and they are facing grave threat of life and liberty at their hands.

¶22

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 the petitioners being major are living in the company of each other. Thus, this Court deems it proper to direct the petitioners to appear before the Superintendent of Police, Jodhpur Rural who shall hear the grievance of the petitioners and take appropriate steps for safety and security of the petitioners as they are apprehending untoward incident at the hands of family members of the petitioner No. 1.

¶23

Consequently, the present misc. petition stands disposed of by issuing direction to the Superintendent of Police, Jodhpur Rural to take appropriate steps for safety and security of the petitioners at the hands of those, who are opposed to their relationship.

¶24

It is made clear that this order is not a proof of age 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.
