Heard Shri Santosh Kumar Kanaujia, 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. 04.07.2024 they were of marriageable age. The marriage certificate dated 04.07.2024 issued by the Arya Samaj Mandir, Sector-H, Harsh Vihar Puraniya, Aliganj Lucknow is annexed as Annexure-1 to the writ petition. Petitioner no.1 and 2 have annexed their High School Certificate and Aadhar Card as Annexure no.2 and 3 to the writ petition as proof of their age, respectively. Learned counsel for the petitioners further submits that petitioners are in the process of getting their marriage registered, which shall be done within a period of fifteen days. Learned counsel for petitioners 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. Learned counsel for petitioners also undertake 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. (Syed Qamar Hasan Rizvi, J.) (Vivek Chaudhary, J.)
