Prayer in the instant petition filed under Article 226/227 of the Constitution of India is for issuance of directions to respondents No.2 and 3 to
protect the life and liberty of the petitioners, who have married against the wishes of private respondents i.e. respondents No.4 to 16.
Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that petitioner No.1 â€" Daljit Kaur, aged 20 years and petitioner No.2 â€"Bikramjeet Singh, aged 21
years, have got married against the wishes of their family members, arrayed as respondents No.4 to 16. It has further been submitted that the private
respondents are threatening to interfere in the marital life of the petitioners. Hence, they have approached respondent No.2 by filing representation
dated 23. 02.2021 (Annexure P-4) seeking protection in that regard and have also approached this Court by way of filing the instant petition.
Notice of motion.
On the asking of Court, Mr. Luvinder Sofat, AAG, Punjab, who is present in Court, accepts notice on behalf of respondents No.1 to 3.
In view of the above, the petition is disposed off with a direction to respondent No.2-Sr. Superintendent of Police, Patiala Sahib to look into the
representation dated 23.02.2021 (Annexure P-4) at the earliest and take necessary steps, if any required, in accordance with law, to ensure that the
life and liberty of the petitioners is not jeopardized at the hands of the private respondents. However, this direction will not validate the marriage said to
have taken place between the parties and will have no effect on any civil or criminal action, which could be initiated in the matter in accordance with
law.
