SURINDER GUPTA, J.(Oral) Heard.

Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that Kamalpreet Singh petitioner No.1, who is major (date of birth 02.04.1993) has married Manatpreet Kaur, petitioner No.2, who is minor (date of birth 25.10.1997). The marriage was against the wishes of parents of petitioner No.2, who are not happy with this marriage and threatened to eliminate the petitioners. Without approving the averments regarding the age of petitioners or saying anything about the validity of the marriage, this petition is disposed of with direction to respondent No.2-Senior Superintendent of Police, SAS Nagar (Mohali) to look into the representation dated 25.04.2015 (Annexure P-3) and take appropriate action in accordance with law, on receipt of certified copy of this order. However, it is made clear that this order will have no effect on the validity of alleged marriage of the petitioners or on any other civil or criminal proceedings instituted against them.
