The marriage certificate dated 03.03.2025 issued by the Vivahita Seva Samiti, Laxmanpuri Colony, Barabanki U.P. is annexed as Annexure-1 to the writ petition. Petitioner no.1 has annexed High School Marksheet as Annexure no.SA-1 with the supplementary affidavit filed today in this regard as proof of age. Petitioner no.2 has annexed high school certificate as Annexure no. 3 to the writ petition. He 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. 6. Learned counsel for petitioners also undertakes to get the marriage of petitioners registered under the U.P. Marriages Registration Rules, 2017 within a period of four weeks. 7. Counsel for the opposite party no.4 submits that opposite party no. 4 is not against their marriage and he proposed to get the marriage properly performed between the parties in the presence of family members. The statement is taken on record. 8. 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. 9. 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. 10. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of.
