IN THE HIGH COURT OF UTTARAKHAND AT NAINITAL Writ Petition (Criminal) No. 254 of 2012 Smt. Renu Kumari and another ………….. Petitioners Versus State of Uttarakhand and others ..………… Respondents Present: None for the petitioners. Mr. Hariom Bhakuni, brief holder for the State/respondent Nos. 1 to 4. Coram : Hon’ble Barin Ghosh, C.J. Hon’ble U.C. Dhyani, J. JUDGMENT BARIN GHOSH, C.J. (Oral) Respondent Nos. 5 & 6 have been served. Respondent No. 5 has also filed an objection. In that, he has contended that Smt. Renu Kumari is a major. He has contended that statement of Renu Kumari has been taken under Section 164 of the Code of Criminal Procedure before the Chief Judicial Magistrate, Rudrapur. She has stated that Smt. Renu Kumari has supported the case, as made out in the writ petition, to the effect that she has married Chandra Prakash. Although, it has been stated that the marriage certificate issued by Arya Samaj is liable to be cancelled, but the fact remains that is not an issue in the present writ petition. An assertion by the petitioners that they have married of their own volition after becoming major is more than sufficient. In the circumstances, though no one is appearing on behalf of the petitioners, we are disposing of the writ petition by confirming the interim order already passed. (U.C. Dhyani, J.)
