State of Haryana and others .....Respondents .... Present: Mr. Karan Bhardwaj, Advocate for the petitioners. ..... S.S. Saron, J. Learned counsel submits that the petitioners earlier filed Criminal Misc. No.M-34326 of 2010 which was dismissed as withdrawn as there was some mistakes in the same. It is submitted that after removing the mistakes, the present petition has been filed. The petitioners on their own have solemnized their marriage amongst themselves against the wishes of the parents (respondents No.4 and 5) of petitioner No.1. It is submitted that the marriage was solemnized on 19.11.2010. Learned counsel during the course of hearing has shown the marriage certificate dated 19.11.2010 issued by Arya Samaj Baltana, Zirakpur (S.A.S. Nagar) in terms of which it has been certified that the marriage between the petitioners has been performed in Arya Samaj Baltana, Zirakpur (S.A.S. Nagar) on 19.11.2010 at 3.00 p.m. by Purohit Vimlesh Kumar. A photostat copy of the said certificate duly attested has Cr. Misc. No.M-34613 of 2010 [2] been placed on record. The photographs (Annexure-P.3) taken at the time of marriage are already on record. On account of the marriage that the petitioners solemnized, they apprehend danger to their life and liberty. The petitioners submitted application dated 19.11.2010 (Annexure-P.4) to the Superintendent of Police, District Karnal (respondent No.2) seeking protection of their life and liberty. Learned counsel submits that in the said application the date of marriage has wrongly been mentioned as 18.11.2010 due to a typographical mistake whereas it should be 19.11.2010. It is submitted that despite the application (Annexure-P.4) the petitioners apprehend danger to their life and liberty. The petitioners, it is stated, are major. The date of birth of Anu Sharma (petitioner No.1) as per her Secondary School Examination certificate (Annexure-P.2) issued by the Board of School Education Haryana is 6.9.1989 and that of Sachinder Singh (petitioner No.2) as per his Matriculation certificate (Annexure-P.1) issued by the aforesaid Board is 2.9.1989. The averments made in the petition are supported by affidavit of Anu Sharma (petitioner No.1). Both the petitioners are present in Court and are identified by their counsel. It is stated by petitioner No.1 that she has solemnized her marriage with petitioner No.2 of her own free will and desire and without any kind of pressure or undue influence. Besides, she is happy with her marriage. It is submitted by both the petitioners that they were not earlier married. In the afore-noticed facts and circumstances, the present criminal miscellaneous petition is disposed of with a direction to Cr. Misc. No.M-34613 of 2010 [3] respondents No.2 and 3 that in case the petitioners approach any of them setting out their grievances as have been made in the present petition the same shall be duly considered and looked into by them independently and in accordance with law.
