Court No. - 85 Case :- WRIT - C No. - 34796 of 2023 Petitioner :- Bhagwan Das And Another Respondent :- State Of U.P. And 2 Others Counsel for Petitioner :- Manoj Kumar Counsel for Respondent :- C.S.C. Hon'ble Mayank Kumar Jain,J. Heard Sri Manish Kumar, Advocate holding brief of Sri Manoj Kumar, learned counsel for the petitioners and Sri Yogesh Kumar, learned Standing Counsel for the State respondents. Present petition has been filed by the petitioners claiming protection of their lives and liberty as they are living together in live-in-relationship. The averments made in the petition are supported by the joint affidavit of the petitioners. Further, it is stated that private respondent and other family members have got annoyed and there is serious danger to the lives of the petitioners as they are being threatened and harassed. It is averted in the writ petition that petitioner no.2 married to respondent no.4 Ram Sewak, who has dislodged her from his house and now the petitioner no.2 is living happily with petitioner no.1. Learned Addl.C.S.C. pointed out that petitioner no.2 is already married to respondent no.4 Ram Sewak and no documents of dissolution of marriage is filed, therefore, the case is squarely covered with the judgment of this Court passed in Asha Devi & Anr. Vs. State of U.P. and Ors. passed in Writ-C No.18743 of 2020. Since the petitioner no.2 is already marred to respondent no.4, therefore, the matter is squarely covered with the judgment of this Court passed in Asha Devi & Anr. Vs. State of U.P. and Ors (supra) and petitioners are not entitled for any protection. In view of above, the writ petition is dismissed. Order Date :- 2.12.2023 AKT High Court of Judicature at Allahabad
