Kahlon, Advocate, for the petitioners. Alok Singh, J. (Oral) Both the petitioners are personally present before me in the Court. I have personally examined both of them in the Court. Both the petitioners have stated that they have filed this petition for the purpose of getting their marriage approved, which is not accepted by respondent Nos. 4 to 6. Both the petitioners have further stated that since petitioner No.2 is working in Baramulah (Jammu & Kashmir), therefore, both the petitioners will go to Baramulah (Jammu Crl. Misc. No. M-30695 of 2011 & Kashmir) and would settle down there. On being asked repeatedly what type of threats they are having from respondent Nos. 4 to 6, petitioners have stated that respondent Nos. 4 to 6 may create problem in Jammu & Kashmir. They have further stated that if marriage is approved by this Court, they will feel secure in Jammu & Kashmir also. In the opinion of this Court, Forum of Section 482 Cr.P.C. or Article 226 of the Constitution of India, cannot be invoked to approve or disapprove the marriage performed by the petitioners. Since, they are not having any life threat as on day, I am not inclined to entertain this petition. Petition is dismissed. However, it is made clear that if petitioners receive any life threat in Jammu & Kashmir, they shall be at liberty to take such legal recourse which is available under the law in the State of Jammu & Kashmir.
