Notice of motion.

Mr. Jaspal Singh Guru, A.A.G., Punjab appears and accepts notice on behalf of the official respondents. As per the petitioners, they have married on 15.06.2023 against the wishes of respondents No.4 to 11, who happen to be the family members/ relatives of petitioner No.1 i.e. Khushpreet Kaur.

CRWP-6121-2023 -22023:PHHC:082200 marriage, I deem it appropriate to direct respondent No.2 (Senior Superintendent of Police, Patiala) to look into the representation dated 15.06.2023 (Annexure P-5) 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 to 11 in his presence, so that the parties get rid off their ill feelings and live amicably. The petition stands disposed off.
