liberty.

a copy of this petition as a representation and issue necessary orders

as warranted by law so as to ensure protection of life and liberty of
the petitioners.
3. This order, however, shall not be construed to
mean that the petitioners were of marriageable age at the time of
their marriage or that the marriage is legal as per laws applicable to
the case of the petitioners.
4. It is further made clear that this order shall not
clothe the petitioners with any protection against their arrest or
continuance of proceedings in case they are found involved in
commission of a cognizable offence.
