[CRLW-306/2026]

Petitioners are major and present in person. They have duly been identified by their counsel.

This criminal writ petition has been filed by petitioners seeking protection from the private respondents No.5 to 7 as they are apprehending danger to their life and liberty at the hands of private respondents.

Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that both the petitioners are mature enough to take decision of their life. She submits that petitioners have entered into marriage as per Hindu Rites and Customs at Akhil Bhartiya Arya Samaj Mandir Trust Jaipur on 11.02.2026 and same has been registered in the Office of Marriage Registration Officer, Murlipura Zone, Jaipur Nagar Nigam. The certificate of registration of marriage of the petitioners is annexed with this petition. Counsel further submits that petitioners are living peacefully as husband and wife but respondents No.5 to 7 are not happy with their marriage and petitioners are receiving continuous threats from the private respondents, so they prayed for protection.

In view of the above factual averments, petitioners are directed to file appropriate application seeking protection before respondent No.4 - Station House Officer, Police Station Shivaji Park, District Alwar (Raj.) and respondent No.4 is directed to provide protection to the petitioners, if any application is filed before him and he would ensure that no harm is caused to the petitioners.

The criminal writ petition is, accordingly, disposed of.
