                             ------------------------

                    Through instant petition, the petitioner has sought protection at the hands of the private respondents, who, according to the petitioner, are related to her ex-husband  and are causing continuous harassment and forcing the petitioner to contract second marriage and handover the custody of children of the petitioner to them.  It is further alleged that the official respondents are not providing legal protection to the petitioner.

                   Respondents No.1 and 5 have filed their comments, wherein adverse allegations have been denied.  It is further stated that the legal protection to the petitioner will be provided whenever she approaches them.

                   With this statement, the learned Counsel for the petitioner is satisfied and does not press the instant petition, provided legal protection is provided and the official respondents may be directed to record the statement of the petitioner whenever a need arises and register a case against the respondents.

                   In view of hereinabove, the instant petition is dismissed as not pressed.  However, the official respondents are directed to provide legal protection to the petitioner as per law.  It is further directed that if the petitioner approaches them for reporting a cognizable offence, they may act strictly in accordance with law. 

                   Petition stands disposed of.
