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 Superintendent of Police, Kurukshetra to look into the representation dated 22.06.2024 (Annexure P-4) stated to have been submitted by petitioner No. 1-Sejal & pass appropriate orders thereupon within two weeks from today.

7.

Keeping in view the fact that both the petitioners claim to have married against the wishes of their family(s), I direct that if possible, respondent No. 2 Superintendent of Police, Kurukshetra may call a meeting of the petitioners as well as the parents of both the petitioners and their other concerned family members in his/her presence so that the parties may endeavour to resolve their dispute(s) and live amicably. 8.

Liberty is reserved in favour of private respondents to seek recall of this order on showing sufficient cause. 9.

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. 10.

The petition stands disposed off. Pending application(s), if any, shall also stand disposed off.
