JUDGMENT Petitioners were married on 26-2-2007 after a betrothal on 17-2-2007. The marriage was arranged after the first petitioner reached Kerala on leave from UAE where he works as a sales executive. According to him, on account of the marriage, on his request, his employer has granted extension of leave only till 14-3-2007. He states that he would be able to get leave only after two years and that in order to get a family status, he could take his wife also to UAE. Under such circumstances, following the decision of the Division Bench of this Court in John Lukose v. District Registrar [2007(1) KLT 247], there will be a direction that the marriage of the petitioners will be registered provisionally without insisting on the notice period of thirty days and such registration will be notified in WP(C)7817/07 -: 2 :- the notice board of the second respondent and lawful objections, if any, will be considered with notice to the petitioners. If such objections are upheld, the registration of the marriage will be cancalled. The marriage certificate of the petitioners will also be issued upon registration. Let that be done on or before the 12-3-2007. SD/- THOTTATHIL B. RADHAKRISHNAN, JUDGE. Sha/- -TRUE COPY- P.S.TO JUDGE.
