IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Crl. Misc. No. M-30694 of 2011 (O&M) Date of Decision: October 05, 2011 Ranjit Kaur and another ….Petitioners Versus State of Punjab and others. … Respondents CORAM: HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE ALOK SINGH 1. Whether reporters of local news papers may be Allowed to see judgment? 2. To be referred to reporters or not? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? Present: Mr. Ritesh Pandey, Advocate, for the petitioners. Alok Singh, J. (Oral) Both the petitioners are personally present in the Court. I have personally examined both of them. Petitioner No.1 has stated that she has got married with petitioner no.2 on 22.08.2011. After marriage, she went to her parents’ home. Earlier respondent Nos. 4 to 6 agreed to the marriage, however, later on, they started pressurizing petitioner no.1 to stay with them saying that they would perform her marriage as per ritual prevailing in the community with Crl. Misc. No. M-30694 of 2011 petitioner no.2 only. However, now they are refusing to perform their marriage, therefore, both of them have filed this petition to get their marriage approved. On being asked repeatedly, both of them have stated that they would have no life threat if marriage is approved by this Court, and respondent Nos. 4 to 6 would also agree to the same. I am afraid that marriage can be approved by this Court while exercising jurisdiction under Section 482 Cr.P.C. or Article 226 of the Constitution of India. Petition seems to be ill advised. Since, there is no life threat, I am not inclined to entertain this petition. Dismissed. However, it is made clear that if petitioners receive any life threat in future, they shall be at liberty to take such legal recourse which is available under the law.
