Crl.Misc No M- 25133 of 2010 Sunita Rani and another v. State of Punjab and others Present: Mr.Gourave Bhayyia, Advocate, for the petitioners. Mr. R.S.Rawat, AAG, Punjab. Mr.Mohd.Yousaf Advocate for the complainant. *** ORDER The present petition has been filed by petitioners Sunita Rani and Jaswant Singh for issuance of directions to respondents No. 1 to 4 to protract their lives and liberties and for providing security to the petitioners as they have solemnized their marriage contrary to the wishes of their family members. Notice of motion was issued in the case on 27.8.2010 and while issuing notice of motion, it was also ordered that the petitioners be not involved in any case of kidnapping, rape or any other matter relating to their marriage and police was directed not to harass the petitioners at the instance of their parents or relatives. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that subsequently petitioner No.2 and his father, Darshan Singh were arrested and only petitioner No.1 and her mother-in-law Peeto Bai are in the house and they are being harassed by the police and if some security is provided at their residence, they would be safe. Learned counsel has not been able to show from the record that any such application or representation has ever been moved by the petitioner to the police authorities and without bringing Crl.Misc No M- 25133 of 2010 [2] to the notice of police authorities, the present petition has been filed in this Court. Mr. R.S.Rawat, learned AAG, Punjab also submits that no such complaint in this regard has been received by the police authorities and if such application is moved by the petitioners, the same would be considered and action would be taken in accordance with law. Although the present petition was filed for issuance of directions to provide security to petitioners Sunita Rani and Jaswant Singh but new development has been brought to the notice of the Court that during the pendency of this petition,petitioner No.2 as well as his father have been arrested and petitioner No.1 and her mother-in-law are being harassed. There is nothing on record to show whether petitioner No.2 was arrested prior to the passing of order dated 27.8.2010 or after passing of the order. Specific directions were issued while issuing notice of motion that no case like kidnapping, rape or any other matter relating to marriage of the petitioners be registered during the pendency of the petition. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that he would be satisfied if the directions are issued to the police authorities to consider the representation to be moved by petitioner No.1 or her family members and they may not be harassed by the police. In view of the submissions made by the learned counsel for the parties, the present petition is disposed of with a direction to Senior Superintendent of Police, Ferozepur to look into the matter Crl.Misc No M- 25133 of 2010 [3] personally and take appropriate action after taking into consideration the complaint/representation to be made by the petitioners as well as the directions issued by this Court on 27.8.2010 in accordance with law. The petition is disposed of accordingly. (DAYA CHAUDHARY) September 16, 2010 JUDGE raghav
