Petitioners have approached this Court seeking the following reliefs: “(i) Writ, order or direction in the nature of mandamus directing the Respondent no.2 to provide protection to the petitioners from the respondent no. 4.” 4. It is submitted by learned counsel for the petitioners that both the petitioners are major and they belong to the same faith.

It is further submitted by learned counsel for the petitioners that respondent no. 4, who is elder sister of petitioner no. 1, is not happy with this marriage and thus she is threatening the petitioners of dire consequences. 6.
