IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. Criminal Misc. No. M-26733 of 2011 (O&M) Date of Decision: 5.9.2011. Laxmi Kumari and another ….Petitioners Versus State of Punjab and others …..Respondents CORAM: HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE NAWAB SINGH Present: Mr. S.M.Tripathi, Advocate, for the petitioners. NAWAB SINGH, J. (ORAL) Notice of motion. Mr. Sudhir Nehra, Additional Advocate General, Punjab appears on behalf of State of Punjab. It is another case where a couple, who married against the wishes of their parents, has sought Police protection on the premise that they apprehend danger to their lives. While it is true that honour killings take place and such couples are harassed to the extreme due to medieval mindset of the parents, police protection is not to be ordered in each and every case or merely for the asking. An application has already been moved before the Senior Superintendent of Police, Patiala, so, for the time being the Senior Superintendent of Police is directed to take appropriate action if warranted on the application (Annexure P-5). Disposed of accordingly. (NAWAB SINGH) JUDGE 5.09.2011 Ishwar
