State of Punjab and others -Respondents. CORAM : Hon'ble Mr. Justice Rajesh Bindal. Present: Mr. SPS Sidhu, Advocate, for the petitioners. Rajesh Bindal J. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that during pendency of the petition on an application filed by father of petitioner No.1 under Section 97 Cr.P.C., both the petitioners were produced before the Sub Divisional Magistrate, Sirsa, where the petitioners stated that they had married against the consent of father of petitioner No.1. Petitioner No.1 had specifically stated that she wants to live with her husband-petitioner No.2. Taking that into view, the Sub Divisional Magistrate permitted petitioner No.1 to go along with petitioner No.2 and the police was directed to grant them necessary protection in case need be. The application filed by father of petitioner No.1 was disposed of vide order dated March 15, 2008. Keeping this development in view, the present petition has been rendered infructuous and is dismissed as such. [Rajesh Bindal ] Judge April 8, 2008 `ask'
