From perusal of the same and for better appreciation of the sequence of events happening in this case, reproduction of the statement Ashwani Kumar 2024.06.01 13:27 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this document

CRWP No.4227 of 2024 -2of the respondents would also be read as under: ...That on 27.4.2024, his daughter Lovepreet Kaur got married to Imran Khan son of Mohammad Bashir, resident of Sarhandi Gate, mohalla Baghwala, Malerkotla of her own free will. He and his family members i.e. Kuldeep Kaur (mother of petitioner no.1), Mandeep Singh (brother of petitioner no.1) and Randhir Kaur (sister of petitioner no.1) have no objection to the decision of petitioner no.1 and they will not interfere their personal life. His daughter is an adult and she can live anywhere she wants."

In the light of above, it is evidently clear that there is no threat perception to the petitioners in the present case. 5.

In view of the statements of petitioner no.1 and respondent no.4, the petition is devoid of any merit, stands dismissed. 68.
