Present writ petition came up for admission on 6.6.2025 and this Court passed the following order. "The first petitioner and the second petitioner have married according to Hindu rites on 25.05.2025 at the Arya Samaj, Shivpuri, Chinahat, Lucknow. A perusal of the first petitioner's mark-sheet relating to her High School shows that her date of birth is 01.01.2004 which clearly shows her to be a major. There is a joint affidavit filed by both the petitioners in support of this petition. The fourth respondent, who is the first petitioner's father is averse to the marriage and the learned counsel for the petitioners argues that he is out to separate the petitioners by resort to abuse of process of criminal law. Prima facie, a case is made out. Versus Counsel for Petitioner(s) : Vijay Nishad Counsel for Respondent(s) : G.A. Smt. Resham And Another .....Petitioner(s) State Of U.P.
