CORAM:

HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE PANKAJ JAIN Present :

Mr. Sandeep Godara, Advocate for the petitioners.

PANKAJ JAIN, J. (ORAL) By way of present petition filed under Article 226/227 of the Constitution of India, petitioners are seeking issuance of directions to the official respondents to protect their life and liberty at the hands of respondents No.4 to 9.

2.

Notice of motion.

3.

Mr. Tarun Aggarwal, Sr. DAG, Punjab accepts notice on behalf of the official respondents.

4.

As per the petitioners, they have married on 01.02.2024 against the wishes of respondents No.4 to 9, who happen to be the family members/ relatives of petitioner No.1 i.e. Monika.

5.

Both the petitioners have claimed themselves to be major relying upon their Aadhar Cards indicating that petitioner No.1-Monika is 13.09.1999 born and petitioner No.2-Sanjeev Kumar is 10.02.1998 born. Deepak Kumar 2024.02.13 15:32 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this document

CRWP-1359-2024 -22024:PHHC:019693 6.

Without commenting on the legality and validity of the marriage, I deem it appropriate to direct respondent No.2 (Senior Superintendent of Police, Gurdaspur) to look into the representation dated 04.02.2024 (Annexure P-4) submitted by the petitioners. 7.

Keeping in view the fact that both the petitioners claim to have married, I think that if possible, respondent No.2 may call a meeting of the petitioners as well as respondents No.4 to 9 in his presence, so that the parties get rid off their ill feelings and live amicably. 8.

The petition stands disposed off.
