1. This Criminal Writ Petition has been filed under Article 226/227 of the Constitution of India praying for issuance of a writ in the nature of mandamus directing respondents No. 2 and 3 to protect the lives and liberty of the petitioners and also directing respondents No. 4 to 6 not interfere in the life and liberty of the petitioners.
2. Petitioners in person submit that both of them being major, got married against the wishes of private respondents. Ever since then, the petitioners are being threatened with dire consequences by the private respondents. Resultantly, a representation dated 29.07.2026 (Annexure P-5) was also made to respondent No.2- Senior Superintendent of Police, Hoshiarpur wherein a mention has been made about the alleged threat perception. It is further submitted that despite the official respondents having been communicated about the alleged threat perception, no steps have been taken to come to the rescue of the petitioners. Learned counsel RENU RAWAT 2026.08.01 13.28 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this document Chandigarh submits that he would be satisfied if directions are issued to respondent No.2- Senior Superintendent of Police, Hoshiarpur to look into their representation dated 29.07.2026 (Annexure P-5) and take appropriate steps at the earliest.
