Neutral Citation No. - 2025:AHC-LKO:13443-DB Court No. - 10 Case :- CRIMINAL MISC. WRIT PETITION No. - 1769 of 2025 Petitioner :- Neha And Another Respondent :- State Of U.P. Thru. Secy. Home Deptt. Lko. And Others Counsel for Petitioner :- Sudhakar Mishra Counsel for Respondent :- G.A. Hon'ble Vivek Chaudhary,J. Hon'ble Brij Raj Singh,J. Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned A.G.A. and perused the record. By means of this writ petition, the petitioners prayed for issuance of mandamus commanding the opposite parties not to disturb the happy and peaceful life of the petitioners and not to harass the petitioners. Petitioners claim to have married each other of their own volition and also claim that on the date of their marriage i.e. 22.02.2025, they were of marriageable age. Petitioners have annexed Aadhar card as Annexure no.1 in this regard as proof of age, wherein date of birth of petitioner no.1 and 2 is 05.09.1998 and 01.01.1996, respectively. 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. 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. 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. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of. (Brij Raj Singh, J.) (Vivek Chaudhary, J.)
