Home Deptt. Lko. And Others Counsel for Petitioner :- Shambhu Prasad,Rahul Singh Rana Counsel for Respondent :- G.A. Hon'ble Vivek Chaudhary,J. Hon'ble Brij Raj Singh,J.
1. Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned A.G.A. and perused the record.
2. By means of this writ petition, the petitioners prayed for issuance of mandamus commanding the opposite parties not to harass the petitioners and interfere in the 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. 19.2.2025, they were of marriageable age. Petitioners have annexed their High School Certificates as Annexure no. 2 in this regard as proof of their age and have also annexed the marriage certificate dated 19.2.2025 as Annexure No.3 issued by the Registration of Marriage Officer, Sadar, Lucknow to the writ petition. 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. 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. [Brij Raj Singh, J.] [Vivek Chaudhary, J.] Order Date :- 28.2.2025 / Anuj Singh Digitally signed by :- ANUJ PRATAP SINGH High Court of Judicature at Allahabad, Lucknow Bench
