CRWP-11556-2023 -22023:PHHC:152786 marriage, I deem it appropriate to direct respondent No.2 (Senior Superintendent of Police, Gurdaspur) to look into the representation dated 25.11.2023 (Annexure P-4) submitted by the petitioners. 7.

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 and 5 in his presence, so that the parties get rid off their ill feelings and live amicably. 8.

The petition stands disposed off.
