Mr. Susheel Kumar, learned counsel for the petitioners. 2. Mr. Jai Prakash, learned Brief Holder for the State. 3. Petitioners have approached this Court seeking the following reliefs: “a) Issue a writ, order or direction in the nature of mandamus directing the respondent nos. 1 and 2 to provide adequate protection to the petitioners from respondent no. 3 and other family members of respondent no. 3 and other relatives of petitioner no. 1, so that they may live peaceful marital life.” 4. It is submitted by learned counsel for the petitioners both the petitioners belong to the same faith, and that the petitioners developed a liking for each other, which has ended in love, and both the petitioners have solemnized their marriage on 11.06.2026 as per Muslim Rites and Rituals. Since the family members of petitioner no. 1 are against this marriage, they are giving out threats to kill both the petitioners. Petitioners submit that they are facing stiff resistance, and they seriously apprehend threat to their life and limb from their family members, and hence they are before this Court praying for protection. 5. The documents on record reveal that both the petitioners are majors, and it is also submitted by the counsel for the petitioners that the parties have married each other as per Muslim Rites and Rituals. 6. In that view of the matter, and in view of the ruling of the Hon'ble Supreme Court in the case of Lata Singh Vs State of U.P. and another, (2006) 5 SCC 475, the petitioners have made out a case for grant of protection. 7. The Station House Officer, Police Station Bhagwanpur, District Haridwar is directed to assess the threat, if any, to the life and limb of the petitioners, and provide necessary protection, if it is found that there is a threat to the life and limb of the petitioners. The S.H.O. concerned is further directed to summon the private respondent, and such other persons, who are inimically placed towards the marriage of the petitioners, and counsel them, in accordance with law. 8. The writ petition stands ordered accordingly. (Alok Mahra J.) 16.06.2026 Ujjwal
