State of Haryana and others .....Respondents .... Present: Mr. H.S. Deol, Advocate for the petitioners. ..... S.S. Saron, J. Both the petitioners have solemnized their marriage amongst themselves which is against the wishes of the parents (respondents No.4 and 5) of petitioner No.1. The date of birth of petitioner No.1 as per her passport (Annexure-P.1) is 18.12.1986 and that of petitioner No.2 as per his passport (Annexure-P.2) is 25.4.1980. Therefore, they are both major and had a liking for each other. On account of the marriage, which has been solemnized the parents (respondents No.4 and 5) of petitioner No.1 are unhappy and the petitioners fear threat from them. The marriage was solemnized on 16.3.2009 at Arya Samaj Mandir, Delhi as per Hindu rites and ceremonies. The certificate (Annexure-P.3) and photographs (Annexure-P.4) of their marriage have been placed on record. Petitioner No.1 has also submitted an application dated 17.3.2009 (Annexure-P.5) to the SHO, Police Station City Panipat (respondent No.3) informing him that petitioner No.1 has solemnized the marriage with her own free will and choice and without any kind of undue pressure or coercion. Both the Cr. Misc. No.M-8637/2009 [2] petitioners filed another application dated 18.3.2009 (Annexure-P.6) to the Superintendent of Police, Kaithal (respondent No.2) informing him that they have been receiving threats to their life and liberty and requested him to take action as per law to ensure that they are not threatened and harassed. Despite the applications (Annexures-P.5 and P.6) the petitioners apprehend danger to their life and liberty, therefore, they have approached this Court. Both the petitioners are present in Court and are identified by their counsel. It is stated by petitioner No.1 that she has solemnized her marriage with petitioner No.2 of her own free will and desire and without any kind of pressure or undue influence. In the circumstances, the present criminal miscellaneous petition is disposed of with a direction to respondents No.2 and 3 that in case the petitioners approach any of them setting out their grievances as have been made in the present petition the same shall be duly considered and looked into by them independently and in accordance with law.
