ORDER : Mr. Rajendra Prakash Soni, J. - The instant Criminal Writ Petition has been preferred by the petitioners under Article 226 of the Constitution of India seeking direction for being provided with adequate security and protection. 2. Both the petitioners are present in the Court. They being major persons claim to have performed a love marriage. They submit that the marriage was performed against the wishes of their parents and thus, they feel threat to their lives at the hands of respondents No.6 to 8 being family members of petitioner No. 1. The petitioners allegedly approached the police authorities with a prayer to be provided with adequate protection but no heed has been paid to their request so far. 3.

State of U.P. reported in AIR 2006 SC 2522 , the prayer made by the petitioners for directing the Superintendent of Police, Tonk to provide protection to the petitioners deserves to be accepted. 4. The Superintendent of Police, Tonk shall have the matter enquired into and if so required, appropriate protection shall be provided to the petitioners as and when warranted. The Superintendent of Police, Tonk shall ensure that no harm is caused to the petitioners, who have performed a love marriage. 5. The criminal writ petition as well as stay petition accordingly stand disposed of. 6. A copy of this order be sent to the respondents forthwith.
