Sandeep Singh and another .....Petitioners versus State of Punjab and another .....Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE SURYA KANT. Present : Mr.B.S.Randhawa, Advocate, for the petitioners. Ms.Sudeepti Sharma, DAG, Punjab. -.- 1. Whether Reporters of Local papers may be allowed to see the judgment? 2. To be referred to the Reporters or not? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? --- Surya Kant, J. (Oral) Notice of motion. Ms.Sudeepti Sharma, learned Deputy Advocate General, Punjab, accepts notice on behalf of the respondents. In view of the nature of order which I propose to pass, there is no need to seek any counter reply from the respondents at this stage. The petitioners seek a mandamus to direct the respondents to consider their application dated 7.12.2010 (Annexure P-3) for registration of their marriage and issue them the necessary marriage certificate. The petitioners aver that they being major performed their marriage against the wishes of their parents on 28.10.2010 according to C.W.P.No .1547 of 2011 2 Sikh rites and ceremonies. After performing the marriage, they moved an application dated 7.12.2010 (Annexure P-3) alongwith requisite documents before respondent No.2 for registration of their marriage and issuance of a marriage certificate in accordance with law, however, respondent No.2 is sitting tight over the matter and is not issuing the marriage certificate on one pretext or the other. Having heard learned counsel for the parties and considering the nature of relief sought in this writ petition, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the same with a direction to the Registrar of Marriage, Anandpur Sahib, District Ropar, that as and when the petitioners appear before him alongwith the requisite documents and, subject to verification of valid solemnization of their marriage, their marriage shall be registered and the requisite certificate shall be issued to them within a period of two weeks of such presentation. Ordered accordingly. Dasti. January 28, 2011 (SURYA KANT) Mohinder JUDGE
