State of Maharashtra & Ors. .. Respondents. Mr.K.S.Patil for the petitioners. Mr.P.A.Pol P.P. for the State. CORAM : D.B.BHOSALE & A.R.JOSHI, JJ. DATED : 30TH APRIL, 2010. P.C. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned P.P. for the State. 2. The petitioners state that they both are major. They further state that they got married on 1.11.2009 and are leading happy married life in Mumbai. The marriage of petitioner no.1 and petitioner no.2 was against the wishes of petitioner no.2’s parent and her other relatives. In view thereof the petitioners state that her relatives/parents with the help of Rajasthan police are likely to take coercive action against them and take petitioner no.2 back to Rajasthan. This court on 9th December, 2009 had directed respondent no.2 to extend protection to the petitioners from being abducted at the behest of respondent nos.3, 4 and 5. On 10.12.2009, learned counsel for the petitioner informed the court that inspite of such directions the police have failed to protect the petitioners. It S 2 was also informed to the court that respondent no.5 alongwith police personnels from Rajasthan were present at the entrance of the court premises and the petitioners apprehend that as soon as they go out they will be abducted and taken to Rajasthan. In view thereof further directions were issued by this court to extend police protection to the petitioners. It is against this backdrop on last occasion we had directed learned P.P. to find out whether any offence has been registered against the petitioners by the concerned police station in Rajasthan. Learned P.P. has placed on record the fax message dated 30.4.2010 addressed to the Section Officer, High Court sent by the District Superintendent of Police, Udaipur stating that they have not registered any offence against the petitioner. Mr.Pol, learned P.P. further submits that in view of the orders passed by this court the concerned police station in Rajasthan will not take any coercive action against the petitioners. In view of the statement made by Mr.Pol, we dispose of this petition. This, however, shall not preclude the petitioners from seeking police protection, if necessary. Learned P.P. to communicate this order to the concerned police station at Rajasthan within four weeks from today. With these observations the writ petition is disposed of. (A.R.JOSHI,J.)
