No. M-2503 of 2009 This petition has been moved by Major Singh seeking emergency parole to celebrate marriage ceremony of his sister's daughter Rajinder Kaur d/o Jaswinder Singh fixed on 28.1.2009. I have heard learned counsel for the petitioner. Learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that the truth of the marriage may please be verified on T.P.M. and if it is found to be correct, the petitioner may be released on parole for some days to enable him to celebrate the `Bhat Bharna' ceremony of his sister's daughter being the only maternal uncle in the family to perform this ritual according to Sukh rites. A glance through Annexure P.3, the certificate purportedly Criminal Misc. No. M-2503 of 2009 (O&M) -2- issued by Sarpanch, Gram Panchayat Dhugga Khurd, District Hoshiarpur would reveal that it has nowhere been mentioned that the petitioner is the only maternal uncle of Rajinder Kaur, whose marriage is to be celebrated. There may be other maternal uncles of her to perform stated ceremony. As such, this petition is dismissed. January 28, 2009 ( HARBANS LAL ) renu JUDGE Whether to be referred to the Reporter? No
