IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH CRL. Misc. No.M-17602 of 2010 (O&M) Date of decision: 23.06.2010 Mukhtiar Lal and another ............Petitioners Versus State of Punjab and others .........Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE ALOK SINGH -.- Present: Mr. Sandeep Arora, Advocate for the petitioners. *** ALOK SINGH, J. Both the petitioners are present in the Court today. Both the petitioners state that they have married on 19.06.2010. It is alleged that now because of their love marriage they are receiving life threat from their respective families. On being asked, petitioner No.2 Alka is not able to tell her date of birth nor she is able to tell her correct age. Without going into the merit of the case, I direct that both the petitioners shall appear in person before respondent No.2 who will verify the factum of valid marriage after verifying the age of the petitioners. If respondent No.2 comes to the conclusion that both the petitioners are major and have solemnized the marriage with their free consent, then he will pass order on the representation of the petitioners dated 21.06.2010 (Annexure P- 7) in CRL. Misc. No.M-17602 of 2010 (O&M) -2- accordance with law. However, it is made clear that if petitioner No.2 is found to be minor, he may take necessary action in accordance with law. Petitioners shall appear before respondent No.2 on 28.06.2010. Accordingly, the petition stands disposed of. ( ALOK SINGH ) JUDGE 23.06.2010 ashish
