IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA, CHANDIGARH Criminal Miscellaneous No.M-19671 of 2008 Date of Decision: August 06, 2008 Kuldeep Kaur & Another .....PETITIONER(S) VERSUS State of Punjab & Others .....RESPONDENT(S) . . . CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE AJAI LAMBA PRESENT: - Mr. P.P.S. Duggal, Advocate, for the petitioners. . . . AJAI LAMBA, J (Oral) In this petition filed under Section 482 Cr.P.C., contention of learned counsel for the petitioners is that petitioner No.1, Kuldeep Kaur, against the wishes of her father and family members, got married to petitioner No.2, Jagseer Singh. Although the marriage has been accepted by the parents of Jagseer Singh (petitioner No.2), however, the couple is now being harassed by respondent Nos.3 and 4. So much so, there is an apprehension that FIR would be lodged with absurd allegations. This is because both the petitioners are of legally marriageable age and have a right to get married as per their desires. Apprehending danger to the life of the Crl. Misc. No.M-19671 of 2008 [2] petitioners, an application (Annexure P-4) has been made to the Senior Superintendent of Police, Ferozepur. On perusal of the application, Annexure P-4, I find that it is dated 4.8.2008 and therefore, is too recent to invite any action. In view of the facts and circumstances of the case, Station House Officer, Police Station, Mallanwala, District Ferozepur, is directed to treat a copy of this petition filed in the High Court as a complaint and conduct an enquiry. Enquiry be concluded within 15 days of receipt of a copy of this order and the petition. In case, the apprehension of the petitioners is found reasonable, appropriate steps be taken to ensure protection of life and liberty of the petitioners. Petition is disposed of.
