IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Criminal Misc. No. M- 35588 of 2011 Date of decision : 05.12.2011 Mandeep Kaur and another ...Petitioners Versus State of Punjab and others ...Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RANJIT SINGH Present: Mr. Damanjeet, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. Gaurav Garg Dhuriwala, DAG, Punjab for the State. Mr. Vivek Thakur, Advocate for respondents No. 4, 6 and 8. ***** RANJIT SINGH J. Reply has been filed. Counsel for the respondents states that petitioner No. 1 was abducted by petitioner No. 2 from her house at gun point. The couple is present in the Court. I have spoken to petitioner No. 1. She admits before the Court that she has voluntarily gone with petitioner No. 2 and married him. In this background, the statement that petitioner No. 1 was abducted, obviously, cannot be accepted. The apprehension expressed by the petitioners, thus, apparently is made out. The directions have already been issued to Commissioner of Police, Jalandhar to see if there is any threat to life and liberty of the petitioners to them to take adequate measures in accordance with law. The petitioners have already approached to Commissioner of Police, Jalandhar with the order for taking necessary action. No case for further direction, therefore, is made out. Criminal Misc. No. M- 35588 of 2011 -2- The present petition is, accordingly, disposed of. The petitioners would be at liberty to approach the Commissioner if there is any threat to their life and liberty and the Commissioner would remain bound to take action in accordance with law. The present order, however, shall not be deemed to be proof qua the factum/validity of their matrimonial alliance. December 05, 2011 ( RANJIT SINGH ) rts JUDGE
