Hon'ble Dr. Kaushal Jayendra Thaker,J.
Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Standing Counsel, appearing for the State-respondents.
The petitioners are apprehending but have not even moved the police authority. On enquiry being made, learned counsel for the petitioners could not answer on what date application was made to the police authority. Petition is based on mere apprehension.
It is stated that both petitioners are major and they have solemnized their marriage out of their own sweet and free will. It is also stated that private respondents are interfering with marital life and liberty of the petitioners.
The writ petition is partly allowed of with the liberty. However, it is provided that in case any interference with the marital life and liberty of the petitioners is made or any threat is extended to them, they shall be at liberty to approach the concerned Superintendent of Police/Senior Superintendent of Police, who shall examine petitioners' grievance and take all steps, as may be warranted in law, to ensure that life and liberty of the petitioners is not interfered with by private respondents, keeping in view the observations made by the Apex Court in Lata Singh vs. State of U.P., AIR 2006 SC 2522 .
