RAJAN KUMAR 2025.06.16 16:44 I am approving this document CRWP-6361-2025(O&M) 2 As per the petitioners, they have married on 05.06.2025 against the wishes of respondents No.4 & 5, who happen to be the family members of petitioner No.1. Both the petitioners have claimed themselves to be major relying upon Aadhar cards indicating that petitioner No.1-Khushnuma is 01.01.2006 born and petitioner No.2-Nayyum is 05.01.1998 born. Without commenting on the legality and validity of the marriage, and keeping in view that the petitioners are wagers, the present petition is allowed. However, liberty is granted to respondents No.4 & 5 to challenge the legality of marriage on the grounds being pleaded. Further, keeping in view the fact that both the petitioners claim to have married, I deem it appropriate to direct respondent No.2 to look into the representation dated 05.06.2025 (Annexure P-4) submitted by the petitioners. And, if possible, may call a meeting of the petitioners as well as respondents No.4 & 5 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
