IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Criminal Misc.-M No.34921 of 2011 (O&M) Date of Decision: November 22, 2011 Sarabjit Kaur & another ...Petitioners Versus State of Punjab & others ...Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE RANJIT SINGH 1. Whether Reporters of local papers may be allowed to see the judgment? 2. To be referred to the Reporters or not? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? Present: Mr.Rohit Mahajan, Advocate, for the petitioners. ***** RANJIT SINGH, J. This case was adjourned to enable the counsel to make submission whether the marriage as performed by the petitioners is valid as one of the marrying couple is a Christian and another is Hindu. Instead of making submission on the legal aspect of marriage, the counsel says that such inter-religious marriages are required to be protected. No submission, however, is made whether this marriage as performed is valid under law. I am, thus, not inclined to interfere as the counsel could not satisfy the court that the petitioners have performed a valid marriage. No case for issuing any direction, thus, is made out. Dismissed.
