KANDPAL, J. HON. DHARAM VEER, J. HON’BLE B.C. KANDPAL, J. (Oral) By means of this writ petition, the petitioners have prayed to issue writ in the nature of mandamus directing the respondent nos.1 to 3 for provide the adequate protection to the petitioners from the respondent no.4. Heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the record. The case of the petitioners is that they got married with each other according to Hindu Rites at Arya Samaj Temple on 7.3.2009 and a marriage certificate was also issued in this regard. As both the petitioners are from different communities, therefore, the respondent no.4 is not going to accept the marriage of the petitioners and trying to take coercive measures against the petitioners. Accordingly, the petitioners have approached this Court by way of the present writ petition for providing adequate security to them in order to protect their life and liberty. A counter affidavit has been filed behalf of the respondent no.2 in which it is stated that the petitioners never submitted any application before the answering respondent for providing them security. It has been further pleaded in the counter affidavit that the respondent no.4 has given in writing to the police station concerned that he has no objection regarding the marriage of the petitioner no.1 with the petitioner no.2 and he has neither made any complaint nor lodged any FIR at police station concerned. The application filed by the respondent no.4 at the police station concerned has been annexed as Annexure No.CA1 to the counter affidavit. Learned counsel for the petitioners has not denied the authenticity of the application submitted by the respondent no.4 before the police station concerned. In view of the aforesaid, we do not find any justification to issue any writ at this stage. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed being infructuous. (Dharam Veer, J.) (B.C.
