IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Criminal Misc.-M No.34914 of 2011 (O&M) Date of Decision: November 18, 2011 Renu ...Petitioner Versus State of Haryana & others ...Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE RANJIT SINGH 1. Whether Reporters of local papers may be allowed to see the judgment? 2. To be referred to the Reporters or not? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? Present: Mr.Jitender S. Chahal, Advocate, for the petitioner. ***** RANJIT SINGH, J. The petitioner seeks protection of her life and liberty from her own parents. The case set up by the petitioner is that she is major and a devotee of Lord Krishna and Shri Geetanand Ji Maharaj of Satsang Bhawan, Ambala. She is spending her time in Prabhu Kutir. She has decided not to get married. I do not consider it appropriate to grant protection to a person from her/his own parents against a stranger. Merely on the basis of some allegations made in the petition, it cannot be presumed that the petitioner is either being forced to get married or is under any threat from her own parents. In any case, if the petitioner is under any threat as is being alleged, she has an alternative remedy of approaching the police. The petitioner is not well advised to file this petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C. I am, thus, not inclined to issue any direction, as prayed for. Dismissed.
