By way of this writ petition under Section 226 of the Constitution of India, the petitioners have sought the relief for issuing a writ in the nature of mandamus directing the respondent Nos. 1 and 2 to provide the protection to the petitioners. 2. Heard Sri Manish Arora, learned counsel for the petitioners, Sri S.S. Adhikari, learned A.G.A. for the State/respondents no. 1 & 2 and perused the material available before us. 3. Brief facts of the case are that the petitioner Nos. 1 and 2 got married as per Hindu Rites and Rituals on 17.03.2010 at Gurdwara Bandi Chor Sahib, Goddewala, Monga. The certificate of the marriage has been annexed as annexure No. 1 to the writ petition. The petitioners are major at the time of the marriage. The respondent No. 3 who is the father of the petitioner No. 1 became annoyed with the marriage of the petitioners and tried to threatened the petitioners for dire consequences and also threatened to implicate them in false case, in connivance with the police, which has made the life of the petitioners miserable. Hence, this writ petition. 2 4. Having considered the entire submissions advanced by learned counsel for the parties, we are of the view that there is nothing available on record which may suggested to issue any writ in the nature of mandamus issuing direction to respondent Nos. 1 and 2 for providing the adequate security for the life and liberty of the petitioners. 5. However, we direct that in case, the petitioners move any representation before respondent No. 1 – S.S.P., Nainital for providing the adequate security to them, the S.S.P. after assessing as to whether the security is to be provided to the petitioners to secure their life and liberty or not, shall do the needful in the matter. 6. With the aforesaid observation, the petition is disposed of finally. (Nirmal Yadav, J.) (B.C. Kandpal, J.) 23.04.2010 ASWAL
