Ashis Kumar, Son of Haresh Pandey, resident of village – Nirmali, Ward No. 4, Police Station, Nirmali, District – Supaul. ….. Respondents. ----------- 02/ 08.06.2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. Petitioner claims himself to be the husband of Rinki Kumari, daughter of Haresh Pandey as according to the petitioner she being an adult converted herself to Islam and thereafter married the petitioner. Such fact is recorded in the 164 Cr.P.C. statement of Rinki Kumari, which is contained in Annexure-3. Perusal of Annexure-3 however indicates that on the date of statement she was assessed as 17 years old. Counsel for the petitioner disputes the age recorded in Annexure-3 and submits that the Medical Board under report dated 21.5.2009, Annexure-4 found her age between 20 to 21 years on the date of the report. It is further submitted that the age found by the Medical Board is also - 2 - corroborated from the age recorded in the Admit Card granted by Bihar School Examination Board dated 4.1.2006, Annexure-5. Having heard learned counsel for the parties, I direct the S.D.J.M., Birpur at Supaul to act in terms of the report of the Medical Board and if he is not satisfied with the contents of the report, Annexure-3, then he should seek another report and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law as early as possible in any case within one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. This application is, accordingly, disposed of. Let this order be communicated to the S.D.J.M., Birpur at Supaul in connection with Nirmali P.S. Case No. 21 of 2009 through fax on payment of usual charges by the petitioner. DKS/ (V.N. Sinha, J.)
