Sapana And Anr --Petitioners Versus State Of Uttarakhand and Ors --Respondent
Hon’ble Alok Mahra, J.
Mr. Sachin Panwar, Advocate for the petitioners.
2. Mr. S.C. Dumka, A.G.A. for the State.
3. Petitioners have approached this Court seeking the following reliefs: “(i) To issue a writ, order or direction in the nature of mandamus directing the respondent nos. 2 and 3 to give police protection to the petitioners so that they may live their marital life peacefully and liberty of the petitioners may be secured.”
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 that the petitioners developed a liking for each other, which has ended in love and they have solemnized their marriage on 11.08.2026, as per Hindu Rites and Rituals at Prachin Shiv Shakti Mandir, Shivpuri Colony, Kankhal, District Haridwar.
5. 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.
6. Both the petitioners are present before this Court and they have submitted that they will soon register their marriage under Rules 7(1)(g) of U.C.C.
7. 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.
8. The Station House Officer, Police Station Piran Kaliyar, 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 respondents, and such other persons, who are inimically placed towards the marriage of the petitioners, and counsel them, in accordance with law.
9. The writ petition stands ordered accordingly.
