Rajasthan HC Directs Police to Assess Threats to Newlyweds Pratibha Bharia and Sachin Kumar (2026) held that The right to life and personal liberty is a fundamental right guaranteed under the Constitution of India, which cannot be compromised.
Pratibha Bharia and Sachin Kumar filed a Criminal Writ Petition seeking protection from threats to their life and personal liberty following their marriage on February 18, 2026. They claimed that private respondents opposed their marriage and were threatening them. The court upheld their right to life and liberty, directing them to present their case to the police for assessment and necessary protection. The court did not rule on the legitimacy of their marriage, leaving that for further investigation.
The right to life and personal liberty is a fundamental right guaranteed under the Constitution of India, which cannot be compromised.
Apprehensions regarding threats to life and personal liberty must be examined by competent authorities, particularly police, who are responsible for maintaining law and order.
The court's ruling does not determine the legitimacy of the petitioners' marriage or the validity of their documents, leaving those issues open for further inquiry.
