In the High Court of Punjab and Haryana at Chandigarh ...... Criminal Misc. No.29943-M of 2007 ..... Date of decision:11.5.2007 Suman Devi and another .....Petitioners v. State of Haryana and others .....Respondents .... Present: Mr. Raghujeet Madan, Advocate for the petitioners. ..... S.S. Saron, J. (Oral) The petitioners by way of the present petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C. pray for restraining respondent No.4, who is the father of petitioner No.1 from interfering in the happy and peaceful married life of the petitioners. A further prayer has been made for directing official respondents No.1 to 3 not to register any false case against petitioner No.2 in respect of the marriage that has been solemnized amongst the petitioners. The petitioners, it is stated, are major and have solemnized their marriage amongst themselves according to Hindu rites. The marriage was solemnized on 7.5.2007 by the priest Roop Chand Sharma of Kalisthan, Nahan. The petitioner No.2 is working as a Teacher in a Government Primary School, Dadupur Head, Tehsil Jagadhri, District Yamunanagar. This marriage that has been solemnized amongst the petitioners is not to the liking of respondent No.4, the father of petitioner No.1. When the petitioners had gone to seek the blessings of respondent No.4, he refused to Cr. M. No.29943-M/2007 [2] accept the petitioners as husband and wife and threatened to implicate them in a false case. The petitioners have reliably learned that a false criminal case has been registered against them at Police Station, Chhachhrauli. The petitioners are living together as husband and wife on their own free will and without pressure and duress. The photographs of the solemnization of marriage have been placed on record as Annexure-P.3. It is appropriate to note that the petitioners have not approached respondents No.2 and 3 setting out their grievances as have been made in the present petition. Keeping in view the nature of allegations, respondents No.2 and 3 would be in better position to appreciate the ground realities and circumstances and also provide necessary protection to the petitioners in case of need. In the circumstances, the criminal miscellaneous petition is disposed of with a direction to the SSP, Yamunanagar (respondent No.2) and the SHO, Police Station Yamunanagar (respondent No.3) that in case the petitioners approach them setting out their grievances as have been made in the present petition the same would be looked into by them independently and in accordance with law.
