[2025:RJ-JD:51600] (2 of 2) [CRLW-3456/2025]
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
apprehend threat to their lives at the hands of private
respondents, who are their relatives. The petitioners allegedly
approached the concerned respondent authorities, with a prayer to
be provided with adequate protection but no heed has been paid
to the 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 concerned respondent authorities to
provide protection to the petitioners deserves to be accepted.
The concerned respondent authorities shall have the matter
enquired into and if so required, appropriate protection shall be
provided to the petitioners as and when warranted. The concerned
respondent authorities shall ensure that no harm is caused to the
petitioners, who have performed a love marriage.
The criminal writ petition is accordingly disposed of.
