¶24

The petitioners have preferred the present misc. petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C. for issuance of necessary directions to the respondent authorities to provide adequate security and protection to them, as they are facing grave threat of life and liberty at the hands of private respondent(s).

¶25

It is stated in the petition that the petitioners are of major age and they solemnized their marriage of their own free will. However, their family members are not agreeable to their marriage and have threatened them of dire consequences.

¶26

It has been prayed that adequate police protection be provided to them.

¶27

Though no specific instance or imminent threat has been pleaded but considering the prayer made by the petitioners in the petition and having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, this Court is of the opinion that if the petitioners are having any apprehension or threat perception about their life and liberty from their relatives, they may move appropriate representation before the Superintendent of Police, Hanumangarh indicating their concern with the name(s) of probable assailants.

¶28

If any such representation is moved by the petitioners, the Superintendent of Police, Hanumangarh shall consider the same and after analysing the factual situation pass necessary orders or take action to ward off any untoward incident.

¶29

It is hereby clarified that this order may not be construed to be a validation of petitioners’ marriage and proof of their age. Any
