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, Pathankot 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, Pathankot 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.
