Heard learned counsel for the petitioners, learned A.G.A. for the State/opposite parties and perused the material available on 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. 20.02.2025, they were of marriageable age. The marriage certificate dated 20.02.2025 issued by the Arya Samaj Mandir, Sector-H, Harsh Vihar, Puraniya, Aliganj, Lucknow along with marriage photographs are annexed as Annexure-3 to the writ petition. Petitioner no.1 has annexed her High School Certificate, with regard to the proof of age as Annexure no.1 to the writ petition and petitioner no.2 has annexed his Aadhar Card, with regard to the proof of age as Annexure no.2 to the writ petition. Learned counsel for the 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 the 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. (Brij Raj Singh, J.) (Vivek Chaudhary, J.)
