IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. Criminal Misc.31369-M of 2008 DATE OF DECISION : DECEMBER 22, 2008 BABLI SHARMA & ANR. ....... PETITIONER(S) VERSUS STATE OF HARYANA & ORS. .... RESPONDENT(S) CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE AJAI LAMBA PRESENT: Mr. Sarfraj Hussain, Advocate, for the petitioner(s). Mr. Narender Sura, AAG, Haryana. Mr. RMS ingh, Advocate, for respondents 4 & 5. Shri Dharminder with Mr. AP Bhandari, Advocate. AJAI LAMBA, J. (Oral) This petition has been filed under Section 482, Code of Criminal Procedure. Babli Sharma-petitioner No.1 has alleged that she being of marriageable age, got married to petitioner No.2, who has converted to Hinduism. The case projected before this Court is that because petitioner No.2 was earlier a muslim, therefore, the marriage is being opposed by private respondents No.4 and 5. During proceedings, it transpired that petitioner No.1 was earlier married to Dharminder. At that juncture, petitioner No.1 took the Criminal Misc.31369-M of 2008 2 stand that Dharminder was no more and is dead. Learned counsel for the respondent-State, on instructions from HC Ramesh Chand of Police Station, Balaghbarh, states that Dharminder, in fact, is alive and is present in court. It has also been pointed out by the learned counsel for the respondent-State that the fact that Dharminder is alive has been endorsed not only by the Panchayat but more than 10 villagers also. Learned counsel for respondents No.4 and 5 has pointed out that it is a void marriage and the petitioners are not entitled to any directions under the inherent powers. I have considered the issue. This court, in these proceedings, in the facts and circumstances of the case, is not required to look into the legality of the marriage or otherwise. However, in case, the petitioners feel any threat to their life and it is likely to create a law and order situation, the petitioners would be entitled to approach the Senior Superintendent, Faridabad, with their grievance.
