interference in their matrimonial life. Petitioners have, therefore, approached this Court by the medium of this writ petition seeking a direction to the

respondents not to harass them and a direction to the official respondents to provide them adequate security cover and ensure that no harassment

is caused to them by the private respondents and their relatives.

Mr. Bakht Parvaiz, learned counsel for the petitioners, states that petitioners would be satisfied, if a direction is issued to respondents 2 and 3 to

provide them adequate security and not subject them to harassment.
