On 09.05.2025, the non-applicant No.2 personally appeared before this Court and expressed her desire not to prosecute the applicant as the applicant and non-applicant No.2 had decided to perform marriage. 5.

Today, the learned counsel for the applicant has produced marriage certificate dated 28.05.2025. The learned counsel for the non-applicant No.2 is not disputing the fact of the marriage. The certificate of marriage is taken on record and marked as article 'X' for the purpose of identification.

6.

Thus, considering the fact that the applicant and the non-applicant No.2 have performed marriage and in view of the same, non-applicant No.2 does not want to prosecute the applicant, we are of the opinion that even if the trial is conducted no purpose will be served. In the circumstances, the application is disposed of in terms of prayer clause (AA).
