The present petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C. has been filed on behalf of Kuldeep Kaur and Parminder Singh for issuing directions to respondents No.2 and 3 to protect their lives and liberty by providing police protection to them. Notice of motion was issued on 3.12.2010 and while issuing notice of motion, following order was passed:- “Petitioners claimed that they have attained majority and have married against the wishes of family members of petitioner No.1. Apprehending threat to their life and liberty, they have filed this petition for protection. Without expression of any opinion regarding the age or validity of their marriage, notice of motion for 15.3.2011. Meanwhile, an interim direction is issued that the petitioners Crl. Misc. No. M-35580 of 2010 (2) will not be taken into custody forcibly by the police on the complaint of private respondents alleging that petitioner No.1 has been kidnapped or abducted by petitioner No.2.” In response thereto, reply on behalf of the respondent-State has been filed in the Court today and the same is taken on record. Learned counsel for the respondent-State submits that although father of petitioner No.1 submitted a complaint on 2.12.2010 with regard to missing of his daughter but no specific allegation was there against anybody. Learned counsel further contends that as far as threat at the instance of private respondents is concerned, neither any such complaint was made by the petitioners nor any is pending with the police authorities. On the other hand, learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the petitioners have given a representation (Annexure P-5) to SSP, Ferozepur but no action has been taken. Without going into any controversy at this stage whether representation was sent or not, the present petition is disposed of with a direction that in case the petitioners give any complaint/representation with regard to any threat or providing security, the same would be considered by the police authorities in accordance with law.
