Court No. - 2
Case :- WRIT - C No. - 23587 of 2018 Petitioner :- Smt. Gunjan Tomar And Another Respondent :- State Of U.P. And 3 Others Counsel for Petitioner :- Narendra Singh Counsel for Respondent :- C.S.C.
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 the petitioners are major and they have solemnized their marriage out of their own free will. It is alleged that the private respondents are interfering with marital life and liberty of the petitioners.
The petitioners have moved an application to the police authority on 9.7.2018 which shows that they have real apprehension to their lives.
There was a typographical error in the petition that their marriage was registered which the petitioners have now corrected.
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.
Order Date :- 27.7.2018 DKS
