Chief Secy. Home Deptt. Lko. And 3 Others Counsel for Petitioner :- Anurag Singh,Aniket Srivastava Counsel for Respondent :- G.A. Hon'ble Vivek Chaudhary,J. Hon'ble Om Prakash Shukla,J.
1. Heard learned counsel for the petitioners, learned A.G.A. for the State and perused the record.
2. By means of this writ petition, petitioners have prayed for issuance of mandamus commanding the opposite parties not to harass the petitioners and interfere in their peaceful married life.
3. Petitioners claim to have married each other of their own volition and also claim that on the date of their marriage i.e. 7.1.2025, they were of marriageable age. The marriage certificate dated 7.1.2025 issued by the Arya Samaj, Fatehpur is annexed as Annexure-2 to the writ petition. Petitioners have annexed a copy of their High School Certificates/Marks Sheet as Annexure-1 to the writ petition as proof of age. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the petitioners are in the process of getting their marriage registered. He further says that there is no F.I.R. against the petitioners and they are not wanted in any criminal case yet the police is harassing them at the behest of family members who are not agreeable to the marriage. Therefore, this petition has been filed seeking a writ of mandamus directing the opposite parties not to interfere in peaceful married life of the petitioners.
4. Learned counsel for petitioners undertakes to get the marriage of petitioners registered under the U.P. Marriages Registration Rules, 2017 within a period of four weeks.
5. In view of the above, it is provided that if the petitioners have married each other and are living together, were of marriageable age on the date of their marriage and they are not wanted in any criminal case then the police shall not unnecessarily interfere in their peaceful married life.
6. It is, however, made clear that this Court has not entered into nor adjudicated the age of the petitioners nor veracity/validity of the alleged marriage.
7. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of. . [Om Prakash Shukla,J.] [Vivek Chaudhary,J.] Order Date :- 20.1.2025 Sachin Digitally signed by :- SACHIN MEHROTRA High Court of Judicature at Allahabad, Lucknow Bench
