authorities throughout the country will see to it that if any boy or girl who is a major undergoes inter-caste or inter-religious marriage with a women or man who is a major, the couple is not harassed by anyone nor subjected to threats or acts of violence, and anyone who gives such threats or harasses or commits acts of violence either himself or at his instigation, is taken to task by instituting criminal proceedings by the police against such persons and further stern action is taken against such persons as provided by law." 6. The petitioners have also pleaded for protection under Article 21 of the Constitution of India, which guarantees liberty to lead life of their own with dignity. 7. The petition is, therefore, disposed of with a direction to the opposite parties not to interfere in peaceful life and liberty of the petitioners in any manner. 8. It is, however, made clear that this Court has not entered into nor adjudicated the age of the petitioners nor veracity/validity of the alleged marriage. 9. In case any First Information Report has been lodged in the matter, this order shall stands automatically vacated. (Rajeev Bharti,J.) (Rajnish Kumar,J.)
