The petitioners have preferred the present misc.

them.

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,

assailants.

If any such representation is moved by the petitioners, the

Superintendent of Police, Jalore shall consider the same and after

analysing the factual situation pass necessary orders or take

action to ward off any untoward incident.

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 misc. petition is

disposed of.
