Both the petitioners have married each other according to their free will on 15.09.2025. A copy of the Nikahnama is appended as Annexure No. 4 to the writ petition. It is submitted by the learned counsel for the petitioners that since both the petitioners are major and have married each other out of their free will and wish, the allegations leveled by the informant against petitioner no. 2 in the impugned FIR, have no force and, therefore, no offence is made out against the petitioner no. 2. It is also submitted that petitioner nos. 1 and 2 have filed a joint affidavit in support of the averments made in the petition. Learned counsel for the petitioners, therefore, submits that the impugned FIR, which has been lodged by the informant with the malicious intention to falsely implicate the petitioner no. 2, deserves to be quashed.
