Petitioners claim that they are major and have tied nuptial knot out of their free will in accordance with Muslim law and customs. They allege that

private respondents are harassing them and causing 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 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. Bilal Ahmad Khan, 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.

petitioners to ensure that no harm is caused to the life and person of the petitioners. It is, however, made clear that this order shall not come in the

way of investigation of any connected case but the Investigating Officer shall start with ascertaining and having regard to the age of petitioner No. 1
