It is the case of the petitioner that he fell in love with Bhuvaneswari and got married to her on 11.07.2022 and had the marriage registered; thereafter, when Bhuvaneswari went to her natal home, her parents have not permitted her to join him, since their marriage is an intercaste one; therefore, he gave a complaint to the police, based on which, a petition enquiry in C.S.R.No.964 of 2022 was registered by the Inspector of Police, Walajapet Police Station.

3.

Today, K.Gokulan (Mobile No.94981 49810), Special SubInspector of Police, Walajapet Police Station, Ranipet District, is present. The petitioner and Bhuvaneswari are also present before this Court. 4.
