Court No. - 2

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 sweet and free will. It is also stated that private respondents are interfering with marital life and liberty of the petitioners.
It is further stated by learned counsel for the petitioners that petitioner No.1 personally went to the Senior Superintendent of Police, Moradabad and gave an application dated 15.6.2018.
Police authority, if feels that the petitioners' stand is correct and they have real threat to their life, may give protection to them 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 that this Court has not entered into whether the marriage is legal or not.
With these observations, this petition is partly allowed.
