    The Punjab and Haryana High Court granted protection to two adult petitioners in a live-in relationship against threats from their family members, holding that the fundamental right to life and liberty under Article 21 applies equally to unmarried couples regardless of social acceptance. The court directed the Commissioner of Police, Ludhiana, to consider the petitioners' security representation and ensure no harm comes to them, while clarifying this order does not validate their relationship's legality or shield them from criminal prosecution if involved in cognizable offences.
