The 'Nikahnama' dated 25.04.2024 is annexed as Annexure-1 to the writ petition. Petitioners have annexed their High School Certificates as proof of their age as Annexure no.2 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. 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.
