Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the recall of a protection order granted to a couple who married without parental consent. The High Court had initially provided police protection but later revoked it, leading to the registration of an FIR against the appellant under the Prohibition of Child Marriage Act. The Supreme Court emphasized the need to protect the rights of individuals in consensual relationships, particularly in the context of child marriage laws, and ultimately reinstated the protection order.
