submitted applications to the Commissioner of Police, Vadodara, on
17.5.2008 and 5.7.2008 and, though both the applications were

no action is taken by the police authority so far and threats to the
life of the petitioners continue.

can be taken by the Authority in accordance with law, if directions
are issued accordingly.

and are unable to live in the City of Vadodara in view of love
marriage, the petitioners deserve proper protection at the hands of

to do the needful in the matter in accordance with law.
