Saraf and Vipin Chandra Dixit, JJ. viewed that, under the constitutional framework, both parents, as adults, were entitled to live together, even without formal marriage. Hence, the Court directed the Superintendent of Police, Sambhal, to ensure that the First Information Report (\u2018FIR\u2019) is registered, should the child&#8217;s parents approach the station. The Court also instructed the Superintendent of Police to assess whether any security measures were necessary for the protection of the child and her parents, in accordance with the law.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court noted that the father and mother of the child were from different religions and had been living together since 2018. At the time of the proceedings, the child was one year and four months old. The parents expressed concerns regarding certain threats from the private respondents, who were the former in-laws of the biological mother.
