Runaway couple protection plea mentioned in SC, CJI asks lawyer to move Delhi HC

NEW DELHI: (Mar 20) A plea concerning a runaway couple seeking protection was mentioned on Friday before the Supreme Court, which asked the lawyer to move the Delhi High Court for the relief.

In a peculiar turn of events, a lawyer, who mentioned the plea for protection of the runaway couple from their families, had found the young couple in the apex court parking lot.

The lawyer said the couple came to the Supreme Court under the mistaken belief, influenced by social media reels, that they could get married within the court premises and receive immediate protection from the Chief Justice of India.
