JUSTICE AJAI LAMBA Present:- Mr. Rahul Vats, Advocate, for the petitioners Mr.S.S.Nara, Senior DAG, Haryana --- AJAI LAMBA, J (Oral) : This petition has been filed under Section 482 of the Criminal Procedure Code, 1973 by the petitioners with the plea that they got married and the marriage is not being accepted by respondents No. 7 and 8 and therefore, the petitioners are feeling threatened. Reply has been filed through Deputy Superintendent of Police, Assandh. It has been stated that the petitioners have not made any complaint with the police as regards any apprehension of threat from respondents No.7 and 8. The stand of respondent No.7 is that he has already disowned petitioner No.1 from his movable and immovable property and has no concern with the petitioners. A publication to that effect has been made even in news paper 'Dainik Punjab Kesri'. The private respondents have also stated that they have not extended any threat to the petitioners. These facts were within the knowledge of the petitioners. However, the petitioners have not disclosed the same to this Court. CRM No.M-19050 of 2011(O & M) -2- Learned counsel appearing for the petitioners contends that the private respondents are still not happy and are not accepting the marriage. While exercising jurisdiction under Section 482 of the Criminal Procedure Code, 1973, this Court cannot issue directions to private respondents to accept the marriage. From the reply, it has been made out that the private respondents have not threatened the petitioners. In view of the stand of the respondents, no direction needs to be issued in this petition. This petition is accordingly disposed of. In case the petitioners feel any serious threat from the private respondents in context of their marriage, they shall be at liberty to approach Incharge of concerned police station who shall take steps so as to ensure that no untoward incident take place.
