This marriage was statedly performed on 14.11.2011. The certificate of marriage was issued on 17.11.2011. It was viewed that this has been purposely done as on 15.11.2011, the Priest was restrained from performing marriages. Couple was also not present. The case was adjourned as the notice has already been issued to the priest, who has performed this marriage. As already noticed in another cases, this Priest has run away from this place, but the Management has appeared and has filed an affidavit to say that they will not perform any marriage at this place in future. Crl. Misc. No. M- 34952 of 2011 -2- In the meantime, counsel has put in appearance for respondent Nos.4 & 5, who are the parents of the girl. Counsel for private respondents submits that this is the second marriage of petitioner No.2. He is already married and accordingly, the present marriage, which he has performed with petitioner No.1, would be void marriage. The prayer, accordingly, is that no direction as sought would be called for in this case. Counsel for the petitioners, at this stage, submits that he has no instructions and the couple is also not present and is also not in touch with him. He seeks permission to withdraw the present petition. Dismissed as withdrawn as prayed for. December 14, 2011 ( RANJIT SINGH ) monika JUDGE
