The petitioners are alleged to have solemnized marriage on 04.10.2023 (Annexure P-3).

Precisely, in the context of the aforesaid relief, the petitioners have approached the Senior Superintendent of Police, Fazilka, District Fazilka-respondent No.2 by way of a representation dated 12.10.2023 (Annexure P-5).

4.

Mr. Harkanwar Jeet Singh, AAG, Punjab has put in appearance on behalf of respondent Nos.1 to 3.

5.

At this stage, without expressing any opinion as to the validity of the marriage and majority of the petitioners, it would be just and appropriate to direct respondent No.2 to look into the grievance of the petitioners and pass an appropriate order on merits in accordance with law. Respondent No.2 would pass necessary order without being influenced by any pleadings made in the petition. It would be appreciated if the needful is done within a period of one month from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this order. 6.

However, it is made clear that this order shall not debar the official respondents from proceeding against any of the parties, if they are involved in any other case.

7.

The petition stands disposed of accordingly.
