2025:UHC:9428 SL. No. Date Office Notes, reports, orders or proceedings or directions and Registrar’s order with Signatures COURT’S OR JUDGE’S ORDERS WPMS/508/2025 Hon’ble Manoj Kumar Tiwari, J. Ms. Shruti Joshi, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. Suyash Pant, Standing Counsel for the State. 2. By means of this writ petition, petitioner has sought the following reliefs: “(i) A writ, order or direction in the nature of mandamus commanding respondent No. 2 to permit the petitioner to submit the marriage document of the petitioner and her husband dated 04.11.2024 and he may further be directed to issue new registration certificate with the correct date of marriage. (ii) A writ, order or direction in the nature of mandamus commanding respondent No. 3, Senior Superintendent of Police Haridwar, to take appropriate action against the police personals who are causing threats to the petitioner and her husband.” 3. In sum and substance, petitioner wants date of her marriage corrected in the marriage registration certificate, issued by the Registrar, Compulsory Registration of Marriages, Haridwar. According to her, she was married to Mr. Shahid Hasan at Haridwar on 04.11.2024; however, due to mistake of her counsel, date of marriage was wrongly mentioned as 18.07.2024 in the application for registration of marriage due to which, incorrect date of marriage was indicated in the marriage certificate. 2025:UHC:9428 4. Learned State Counsel submits that the authorities cannot be blamed for discrepancy in the date of marriage indicated in the certificate. He submits that if petitioner has any grievance, then she can approach a competent Civil Court for seeking appropriate relief. 5. This Court does not find any scope for interference in the matter. 6. The date of marriage mentioned in the marriage registration certificate cannot be corrected in writ proceedings under Article 226 of the Constitution. Since the issue raised by petitioner is a disputed question of fact which cannot be decided without recording evidence, oral and/or documentary, thus writ petition is disposed of with liberty to petitioner to approach such forum as is available to her in law.
