Kahalgaon, Distt.-Bhagalpur. ----Respondents ----------- 2. 20.1.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and the State. The grievance of the petitioners is that even though they have legally married, which would be apparent on perusal of the marriage certificate, as contained in Annexure 4, they are being threatened with dire consequences by respondent no.7, who happens to be the father of petitioner no.1, with the help of local police of Jamalpur Police Station, Munger. Learned counsel appearing for the State submits that the petitioners had not given any such information with regard to any unlawful action done at the behest of respondent no.7. He further submits that the petitioners had neither given any information to the - 2 - police nor had taken any recourse to law under the Code of Criminal Procedure. It is an admitted position that there is no case against the petitioners in the State of Bihar. However, they are on bail in connection with Bharuch P.S. Case No.1156/2009 in the State of Gujarat. Considering the submissions of the parties, it will be open for the petitioners to give written information either to the Superintendent of Police, Munger (respondent no.2) with regard to any apprehension of imminent danger to their lives or to the Officer- in-Charge, Jamalpur Police Station, Jamalpur District-Munger (respondent no.6), who on receiving the information shall take appropriate action in accordance with law. The writ application, accordingly, stands disposed of. PNM (Shailesh Kumar Sinha, J.)
