Respondents Present Mr. Vikrant Pamboo, Advocate, for the petitioners. Rajesh Bindal, J. Prayer made in the present petition is for protection of life and liberty of the petitioners, who had married against the consent of their parents. Both the petitioners are present in court. They have appended a copy of Marriage Certificate (Annexure P-3) issued by Gurudwara Sri Akalgarh Sahib, Patiala Road, Zirakpur. As per certificate, Annexure P-1, issued by Election Commission of India, the date of birth of petitioner no. 1 is 14.6.1990 and she was more than 18 years of age on the date of the marriage which according to the petitioners was solemnised on 14.10.2010. They are apprehending their arrest and also harassment by the police and family members of petitioner no. 1, as they were not agreeable to the marriage. Learned counsel for the petitioners contends that both the petitioners are major and have married against the wishes of their parents and as such they are fearing threat to their life and liberty. Accordingly, the instant petition is disposed of with the direction to Senior Superintendent of Police, Ludhiana, that in case the petitioners move an application before the aforesaid authority to provide protection to their life and liberty, the same shall be considered and if required, necessary protection be provided to the petitioners. This order may not be treated as a seal of the Court on the marriage of the parties. 21.10.2010 (Rajesh Bindal) vs Judge
