Supreme Court
The Supreme Court on Friday responded to a writ petition filed by the Delhi Commission for Women (DCW) and issued a notice to the Centre, Delhi Police and the Delhi government, asking them to extend security to couples with inter-caste marriages who were facing threats from their families and social vigilante groups.
A bench comprising Justices A K Sikri and S Abdul Nazeer asked them to file their responses within two weeks. The DCW had filed a petition on behalf of six couples who were facing threats of honour killing and were rescued by the Commission from a shelter home run by Love Commandos, an NGO, after receiving complaints of large-scale extortion and abuse by the latter.
