JUSTICE PANKAJ JAIN Present: Ms. Pragti Kumari, Advocate, for the petitioners. Mr. Akhil Kamra, AAG, Punjab. *** PANKAJ JAIN, J. (ORAL) By way of present petition filed under Article 226 of the Constitution of India, petitioners are seeking issuance of directions to the official respondents to protect their life and liberty at the hands of respondent No.4. Notice of motion. Mr. Akhil Kamra, learned Assistant Advocate General, Punjab, who is present in Court on advance copy, accepts notice on behalf of the official respondents. As per the petitioners, they have married on 29.05.2025 against the wishes of respondent No.4, who happen to be the mother of petitioner No.1. Both the petitioners have claimed themselves to be major relying upon Aadhar cards indicating that petitioner No.1-Sofia is 10.03.2005 born and petitioner No.2-Mani Kumar is 15.12.1995 born. RAJAN KUMAR 2025.06.16 16:44 I am approving this document CRWP-6375-2025(O&M) 2 Without commenting on the legality and validity of the marriage, I deem it appropriate to direct respondent No.2 to look into the representation dated 31.05.2025 (Annexure P-4) submitted by the petitioners. Keeping in view the fact that both the petitioners claim to have married, I think that if possible, respondent No.2 may call a meeting of the petitioners as well as respondent No.4 in his presence, so that the parties get rid off their ill feelings and live amicably. The petition stands disposed off. ( Pankaj Jain ) Judge 16.06.2025 Rajan Whether speaking / reasoned: YES/NO Whether Reportable: YES/NO RAJAN KUMAR 2025.06.16 16:44 I am approving this document
