Durga W/o Shri Hemant, Village Vaghina, Police Station Paladi, District Sirohi (Raj. ). ----Respondents Petitioner No. 1 : Smt. Komal Kumari present in person Petitioner No. 2 : Sagar Rawal present in person For Petitioners : Mr. JVS Deora, through VC For Respondent(s) : Ms. Rajlaxmi Choudhary, P. P. HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE SANDEEP MEHTA Order 17/12/2020 The instant misc. petition has been preferred by the petitioners under Section 482 Cr. P. C. seeking direction for being provided with adequate security and protection. (2 of 2) [CRLMP-4252/2020] Both the petitioners present in person in the court submit that they have performed a love marriage. As per their Adhar Cards, both the petitioners are major persons. It is urged that the marriage of petitioner No. 1 and petitioner No. 2 was performed against the wishes of their parents and thus, they feel threat to their lives at the hands of respondents No. 4 to 8 being family members of the petitioners.
The petitioners allegedly approached the police authorities with a prayer to be provided with adequate protection but no heed has been paid to their request so far. The documents pertaining to the age of the petitioners and the marriage ceremony performed between them have been filed on record. Thus, taking cue from the judgment rendered by the Hon'ble Supreme Court in the case of Lata Singh Vs. State of U. P. reported in AIR 2006 SC 2522, the prayer made by the petitioners for directing the S. P. Sirohi to provide protection to the petitioners deserves to be accepted. The S. P. Sirohi shall have the matter enquired into and if so required, appropriate protection shall be provided to the petitioners as and when warranted. The S. P. Sirohi shall ensure that no harm is caused to the petitioners, who have performed a love marriage. The misc. petition as well as stay petition accordingly stand disposed of.
