1. Apprehending danger to their life and liberty, petitioners No. 1 and 2, who are in live-in relationship, along with minor daughter of petitioner No. 2 i.e. petitioner No. 3, have filed the present petition with a prayer to direct official respondents to protect their life and liberty from respondent No. 4.
2. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that petitioners No. 1 and 2 are major. Petitioner No.1 was born on 20.07.2003 and petitioner No.2 on 01.06.1983. Petitioner No. 2 was earlier in live-in relationship with Ramandeep Kaur, who delivered a girl child on 19.11.2017. Ramandeep Kaur died on 06.10.2025. Thereafter, petitioner No. 1 and 2 started living together. Respondent No. 4 (brother of petitioner No. 1) was unhappy with the relationship and was extending threats to eliminate the petitioners.

respondent No.2 for protection of their life and liberty but to no avail.
3. Notice of motion.
4. Mr. Vikas Bhardwaj, AAG Haryana, accepts notice on behalf of the official respondents.
5. Heard.
6. Life and liberty of petitioners has to be protected irrespective of the fact that their relationship does not have approval of society.
7. Without commenting on the validity of relationship of the petitioners, the petition is disposed of with a direction to the official respondents to decide representation (Annexure P-5) within a period of one month. In case, it is found that there is a genuine threat to the lives and liberty of the petitioners, necessary steps as per law be taken at the earliest, so as to ensure that no harm is caused to the petitioners.
8. However, this order shall neither validate the live-in- status between the petitioners nor shall have any bearing on any civil or criminal action, initiated or to be initiated against them.
9. Disposed of accordingly. (SHALINI SINGH NAGPAL) 28.07.2026 JUDGE Ajay Goswami Whether speaking/reasoned:
