Deepak Kumar s/o Sri Ramesh Chandra, has filed the instant petition alleging that he is husband of alleged detenue Rajni Devi. The alleged detenue/Rajni Devi has stated before this Court that she has not solemnized marriage with Deepak Kumar s/o Sri Ramesh Chandra. It would be apt to indicate that draft of Rs. 25,000/-, in terms of order dated 31.10.2025, has not been provided by Deepak Kumar to the alleged detenue Rajni Devi. Taking note of aforesaid including the statement of alleged detenue Rajni Devi, without making any observation on the certificate of marriage issued by Arya Samaj, Shiv Puri, Kamta, Chinhat, Lucknow (Annexure No.-1), this Court is of the view that the present petition is liable to be dismissed with costs. Accordingly, it is dismissed with cost of Rs. 30,000/-, which shall be deposited by Deepak Kumar s/o Sri Ramesh Kumar, r/o Village-Bandipur, Police Station- Mallawan, District-Hardoi, within 15 days from today before this Court, and thereafter the same shall be provided to the alleged detenue/Rajni Devi.
