CRWP-6010-2026 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH 148 CRWP-6010-2026 Date of decision: 20.05.2026 TALIM AND ANR. .... PETITIONER(S) VERSUS STATE OF HARYANA AND ORS. ....RESPONDENT(S) CORAM: HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE JASJIT SINGH BEDI Present: Mr. Nafeesh Ahmed, Advocate for the petitioner. **** JASJIT SINGH BEDI, J. (Oral) The petitioners have approached this Court for issuance of necessary directions to respondents No.2 & 3 for protecting their lives and liberties which according to them are at stake because they are in a live-in-relationship. 2. The petitioners claim themselves to be majors. According to the copies of the Aadhar Cards (Annexure P-1 and P-2), the exact date of birth of the petitioner No.1 is 01.01.2000 and the date of birth of the peti- tioner No.2 is 30.08.2006. 3. The learned counsel for the petitioners submits that a mar- riage is not a must for providing security to a couple in a ‘live-in-relation- ship’ because protection qua life and liberty is sacrosanct and stands at the highest pedestal. He has also placed reliance upon orders passed by the co-ordinate Bench of this Court in ‘Sarabjeet Kaur and another ver- sus State of Punjab and others’ i
