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. 17.01.2025 they were of marriageable age. The marriage certificate dated 17.01.2025 issued by the Arya Samaj Shivpuri Kamta, Chinhat, Lucknow is annexed as Annexures-1 and 2 to the writ petition. Petitioners have annexed High School Certificates as Annexure nos.3 and 4 in this regard as proof of age. Learned counsel for petitioners further submits that their marriage has been registered under the Hindu Marriage Act, a copy of which is annexed as Annexure 1. He further submits 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. 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. 5. 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. 6. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of. Order Date :- 11.2.2025 Pks ( Brij Raj Singh, J.) ( Vivek Chaudhary, J.)
