Deciding on the application requested for the safety of a couple, the Allahabad High Court has said that the couples who go to love marriage against the will of their parents cannot claim police protection as a right, until their lives and freedom are threatened.
The court said, “In a proper case, the court can provide security to a couple. But in case there is no danger, such a couple will have to support each other and learn to face society.”
Justice Saurabh Srivastava made this comment while hearing the writ petition filed by Shreya Kesarwani and her husband. The couple had demanded police protection and demanded the in -laws to issue instructions not to interfere in their peaceful marital life.
The court, after considering the things mentioned in the petition, found that the petitioners do not have any possibility of any danger. The court said, “There is no need to order police security to the petitioners in view of the decision given by the Supreme Court in the case of Lata Singh vs. Uttar Pradesh government.”
The court said, “The petitioners have any kind of threat from the people of their in -laws, there is no evidence for this.” In addition, the court found that the petitioners have not given any complaint letter to the concerned police officers for registering an FIR against the alleged illegal behavior of their in -laws. However, these petitioners have given a report to the Superintendent of Police of Chitrakoot. The court said, if the police concerned that the couple actually fears a threat, then they will take appropriate steps according to the law.
The court said in its decision on April 4 that if a person misbehaves or assaults them, the courts and police officers are present to protect them.
