The Supreme Court was hearing an appeal against the order of the Punjab & Haryana High Court which had refused to grant protection to the live-in couple. The Apex Court ordered the Punjab Police to grant protection to the couple observing that “Needless to state that since it concerns life and liberty, the Superintendent of Police is required to act expeditiously in accordance with law, including the grant of any protection to the petitioners in view of the apprehensions/ threats, uninfluenced by the observations of the High Court.”
