Bhati, PP HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE KULDEEP MATHUR Order 05/10/2023 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 be in a live in relationship. They submit that they are living with each other against the wishes of their parents and thus, they feel threat at the hands of private respondents. The petitioners allegedly approached the respondent police authorities 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 live-in-relationship agreement 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 Superintendent of Police, Barmer to provide protection to the petitioners deserves to be accepted.
The Superintendent of Police, Barmer shall have the matter enquired into and if so required, appropriate protection shall be provided to the petitioners as and when warranted. The (Downloaded on 12/11/2023 at 06:58:44 AM) [2023:RJ-JD:33097] (3 of 3) [CRLW-1677/2023] Superintendent of Police, Barmer shall ensure that no harm is caused to the petitioners, who are in a live in relationship.
