The grievance of the Petitioner seems to be that he was trapped into marrying Respondent No.2. As a matter of fact, he had no intention to marry her. In other words, the marriage with Respondent No.2 was a forced marriage. This grievance has been inquired into by the local Police and it is noticed that the marriage was solemnised between the Petitioner and Respondent No.2 with full understanding and performed in the presence of persons including the Priest and photographer. Statements of all those persons have been recorded and the Investigating Officer would submit that report to his senior Official. 2 1562.10.sxw 2. In view of the above, we do not think it necessary to keep this matter pending, merely because the Petitioner intends to explore the possibility of settlement with Respondent No.2. 3. Petition disposed of accordingly. (P.D.KODE, J.) (A.M.KHANWILKAR, J.)
