He prays that adequate police protection be provided to them.

Though no specific instance or imminent threat has been pleaded but considering the submissions made by learned counsel for the petitioners 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, Karauli indicating their concern with the name(s) of probable assailants.

If any such representation is moved by the petitioners, the Superintendent of Police, Karauli 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’ live-in-relationship and proof of their age. Any observation made herein shall not affect any criminal or civil proceedings initiated against the petitioners, at the instance of their relatives.
