It is seen that the petitioners are married in the church on 28/12/2006. Since the notice period will not be over on 30th of this month, the respondent may not be able to register and issue certificate of marriage to the petitioners. However, since the 2nd petitioner is leaving the country on 31st of this month, there will be a direction to the respondent to complete the enquiry and formalities requiring the presence of the 2nd petitioner and get statement / signature wherever required and release her on or before 30th of this month, so that she can leave the country on 31st of this month. The marriage certificate after registration can be issued to any person authorised by the petitioners. Hand over copy today itself. Sd/- C.N.RAMACHANDRAN NAIR, JUDGE. jg
