HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE GODA RAGHURAM W.P.NO. 8655 OF 2006 DATED: 26.4.2006 Between: Chittedi Karuna … Petitioner and The Station House Officer and another … Respondents HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE GODA RAGHURAM W.P.NO.8655 OF 2006 ORAL ORDER: The writ petition is misconceived. It appears to have been filed to communicate the petitioner’s declaration that she married her husband out of her own free will and volition and as a major, to the 1st respondent who is alleged to be harassing her husband and his family, on suspicion that the marriage took place without the petitioner’s free will. According to the petitioner, her parents were against the marriage and at their instance the police are interfering with her husband and his family. It is not the province or jurisdiction of this court to communicate the petitioner’s declaration to the 1st respondent. The petitioner is at liberty to inform the 1st respondent that the marriage between the petitioner and her spouse took place out of her free will and volition and she is an adult. Despite such communication and without the authority of law, if the first respondent interferes with, harasses or otherwise coerces her husband or his family, either the petitioner or her husband are at liberty to pursue appropriate and legitimate remedies and responses against the concerned police officials including by seeking sanction for the prosecution of such police officers if they indulge in any criminal activities and in abuse of office. They may also complain to the Superintendent of Police, concerned. The writ petition is dismissed at the stage of admission. There shall be no order as to costs. ------------------------------ GODA RAGHURAM, J Date: 26.4.2006 CVM
