Order

14/06/2023

1.

The petitioners have preferred the present writ petition for

issuance of necessary directions to the respondent

authorities to provide adequate security and protection to

them, as they are facing grave threat to their life and liberty

at the hands of private respondent(s).

2.

Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the

petitioners are above 18 years of age and are in a live-in

relationship. But such relationship is not acceptable to their

family members/society and they have threatened them of

dire consequences.

3.

He prays that adequate police protection be provided to

them.

4.

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

concerned Superintendent of Police indicating their concern

with the name(s) of probable assailants.

5.

If any such representation is moved by the petitioners, the

concerned Superintendent of Police shall consider the same

and after analysing the factual situation pass necessary

[2023:RJ-JD:19012]

(3 of 3)

[CRLW-975/2023]

orders or take action to ward off any untoward incident in

accordance with law.

6.

It is hereby clarified that this order may not be construed to

be a validation of petitioners’ marriage 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.

7.

With these observations, this criminal writ petition is

disposed of.
