State of Punjab and others .....................Respondents Coram: Hon'ble Mr.Justice Jaswant Singh Present: None for the petitioners. Mr.Gaurav Garg Dhuriwala,AAG Punjab. None for respondents 4 and 5. Jaswant Singh.J.(Oral) Petitioners, who claim themselves to be major, having allegedly solemnised inter caste marriage (petitioner no.1 being Jat Sikh and petitioner no.2 being Scheduled Caste) on 7.1.2010 against the wishes of step brother and step mother (respondent nos. 4 and 5) have filed this petition under Section 482 Cr.PC seeking protection of their life and liberty. Notice of motion was issued. Reply by way of affidavit of Sharanjit Singh, DSP Sub Division Dhuri, has been filed stating therein that after marriage for some days petitioners lived at the address given in the petition i.e. Dharmpura Mohalla, Dhuri, but now their whereabouts are not known and hence it is not possible to provide them protection. It is further stated therein that if any representation is received from the petitioners for providing them protection, the same will be provided. Today at the time of hearing of the case no one put in appearance on behalf of the petitioners. Even on the last date of hearing none had appeared to represent the petitioners. It appears that the petitioners are not interested to pursue the present petition. Dismissed for non-prosecution. 24.9.2010 (Jaswant Singh) joshi Judge
