Hon'ble Dr. Kaushal Jayendra Thaker,J.
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. Marriage Certificate has been filed by the petitioners.
It is alleged that the private respondents are interfering with marital life and liberty of the petitioners.
The petitioners have moved the police authority on 15.07.2018 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 SSC 234; Lata Singh v. State of U.P. and another, (2006) 5 SSC 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.
