The Punjab and Haryana High Court observed that petitions filed by couples seeking protection after inter-caste or love marriages are consuming about four hours of court time every day. To address this issue, the court has directed the states of Haryana, Punjab, and the Union Territory of Chandigarh to take specific steps to streamline such cases. The High Court has issued clear instructions to local police stations and district-level officials to handle these cases more efficiently. The aim is to prevent courts from being burdened with matters that could be resolved at the administrative level.
