Crl. Misc. No. M- 8618 of 2011 -1- IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Crl. Misc. No. M- 8618 of 2011 DATE OF DECISION: December 8, 2011 Shally Saini .....Petitioner VERSUS State of Punjab and others ....Respondents CORAM:- HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE RANJIT SINGH 1. Whether Reporters of local papers may be allowed to see the judgement? 2. To be referred to the Reporters or not? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? PRESENT: None for the petitioner. Mr. Gaurav Garg Dhuriwala, DAG, Punjab, for the State. Mr. Ramdeep Partap Singh, Advocate, for respondent No.4. **** RANJIT SINGH, J. This petition is filed by petitioner-Shally Saini by impleading her own father. The petitioner makes allegation that she was forced to marry against her wishes to a boy in Delhi with whom she does not wish to have relationship. She came back to her house and complained that his father is forcing him to stay with the same boy. Notice of motion was issued. Directions were issued to respondent No.4 (father) to remain present in the Court. None had appeared for the petitioner on 27.9.2011, when the said directions were issued. Today also no one has put in appearance on behalf of Crl. Misc. No. M- 8618 of 2011 -2- the petitioner, but respondent No.4 is present in the Court. He says that he has married his daughter at Delhi, whereas she now has returned to the parental place and has allegedly run away with a son of the neighbour who as per the petitioner has come to her rescue. It is also stated that the petitioner is now gone missing. It is not fair to put the father of such like persons in dock. The Court has to be sensitive to the need and requirement of summoning the parents of such a child, who has gone and strayed like this. Unfortunate is the father, who has married this girl after spending some fortune and the daughter has decided to live with her friend. It is a matter of double shock for a father, who has performed her marriage and now has not only lost her but is being made to face the court proceedings. In my view, no case for interference in this case is made out. The petition is dismissed. December 08, 2011 ( RANJIT SINGH ) monika JUDGE
