CRWP-1486-2024 -22024:PHHC:022137 Without commenting on the legality and validity of the marriage, I deem it appropriate to direct respondent No.2 (Senior Superintendent of Police, Patiala) to look into the representation dated 13.02.2024 (Annexure P-4) submitted by the petitioners. 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 & 5 in his presence, so that the parties get rid off their ill feelings and live amicably. The petition stands disposed off.
