(Downloaded on 12/11/2023 at 06:53:08 AM)[2023:RJ-JD:32791] (2 of 3) [CRLW-1686/2023] HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE KULDEEP MATHUR Order 04/10/2023 The criminal writ petition has been preferred by the petitioners under Article 226 of the Constitution of India seeking direction for being provided with adequate security and protection.
The petitioners both being major persons claim to have performed a love marriage. They submit that the marriage was performed against the wishes of their parents and thus, they feel threat to their lives at the hands of private respondents, who are their relatives. The petitioners allegedly approached the Commissioner of Police, Jodhpur with a prayer to be provided with adequate protection but no heed has been paid to their request so far.
The documents pertaining to the age of the petitioners and the marriage ceremony performed between them have been filed on record. Thus, taking cue from the judgment rendered by the Hon'ble Supreme Court in the case of Lata Singh Vs. State of U.P.
Reported in AIR 2006 SC 2522, the prayer made by the petitioners for directing the to provide protection to the petitioners deserves to be accepted.
The Commissioner of Police, Jodhpur shall have the matter enquired into and if so required, appropriate protection shall be provided to the petitioners as and when warranted. The Commissioner of Police, Jodhpur shall ensure that no harm is caused to the petitioners, who have performed a love marriage.
The criminal writ petition is accordingly disposed of.
