RANJIT SINGH, J.

The petitioners are seeking protection for their life
and liberty as they have married against the wishes of their
parents. The couple is present in the court.

The petition is disposed of with a direction to the
Senior Superintendent of Police, Ludhiana to look into the
complaint of the petitioners and in case he finds that there is
any threat to their life and liberty, he will take appropriate
action on the said complaint.

Senior Superintendent of Police, Ludhiana would
be at liberty to ask the petitioners to reimburse the cost of
protection in case it is required to be provided to the
petitioners.

The present order, however, shall not be deemed
to be proof qua the factum/validity of their matrimonial
alliance.
