Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and learned Standing Counsel for the State.
It is stated that both petitioners are major and they have solemnized their marriage out of their own free will. In support of their age, they have filed their AADHAR Cards. It is alleged that the private respondents are interfering with marital life and liberty of the petitioners.
Pursuant to the order of this Court dated 27.7.2018, learned Standing Counsel states that he has verified the documents.
The petitioners have moved an application to the police authority on 23.7.2018 which shows that they have real apprehension to their lives.
Hence, the police authority, may give protection to the petitioners in view of the decisions of Apex Court in Gian Devi v. The Superintendent, Nari Niketan, Delhi and others, (1976) 3 SCC 234; Lata Singh v. State of U.P. and another, (2006) 5 SCC 475; and Bhagwan Dass v.
State (NCT of Delhi), (2011) 6 SCC 396.
It goes without saying that this Court has not entered into whether the marriage is legal or not.
With these observations, this petition is disposed of.
