AJAI LAMBA, J (Oral)
1. This petition has been filed under Section 482
Cr.P.C. on the premise that the petitioners being of marriageable
age, got married. The marriage is legal. The private respondents,
however, are not accepting the marriage and therefore, it has been
pleaded that the petitioners apprehend danger to their life and
liberty.
2. This petition is disposed of with direction to
respondent No.2 i.e. Senior Superintendent of Police, Amritsar
(Rural), District Amritsar, to treat a copy of this petition as a
Crl. Misc. No. M-32813 of 2011 [2]
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.
