CRWP-3805-2026 -25.

Both the petitioners have claimed themselves to be major relying upon their Aadhar Cards indicating that date of birth of petitioner No.1-Khushi is 02.10.2007 and petitioner No.2-Keshan is 01.01.1995. 6.

Without commenting on the legality and validity of the marriage as also the merits of contentions raised in the petition, I deem it appropriate to direct respondent No.2 (Senior Superintendent of Police) to look into the representation dated 01.04.2026 (Annexure P-5) stated to have been submitted by the petitioners & pass appropriate orders thereupon within two weeks from today.

7.

Liberty is reserved in favour of private respondents to seek recall of this order on showing sufficient cause. 8.

However, if the petitioners are found to have been involved in any other case, then this order shall not preclude the competent authority from taking lawful action against the petitioners. 9.

The petition stands disposed of.
