Order

16/05/2022

1.

The petitioners have preferred the present misc. petition

under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 for

(2 of 3)

[CRLMP-2828/2022]

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).

2.

Learned counsel for the petitioners submits 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.

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 Superintendent of Police,

Nagaur indicating their concern with the name(s) of probable

assailants.

5.

If any such representation is moved by the petitioners, the

Superintendent of Police, Nagaur shall consider the same and after

analysing the factual situation pass necessary orders or take

action to ward off any untoward incident.

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.

(3 of 3)

[CRLMP-2828/2022]

7.

With these observations, this criminal misc. petition is

disposed of.

8.

The stay petition also stands disposed of accordingly.
