IN THE HIGH COURT FOR THE STATES OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. C.W.P. No. 18398 of 2010. [O&M] Date of Decision: 14th October, 2010. Sandeep Kaur Petitioner through Mr. Vishal Aggarwal, Advocate Versus State of Punjab & Ors. Respondents through Mr. H.S.Brar, Addl. AG, Punjab. Mr. G.S.Kaura, Advocate, for respondent No.5. CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE SURYA KANT. 1. Whether Reporters of local papers may be allowed to see the judgment? 2. To be referred to the Reporters or not? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? SURYA KANT, J. [ORAL] The petitioner seeks quashing of the Marriage Certificate dated 27.09.2010 issued by the Marriage Registration Officer, Batala wherein the petitioner has been shown to be the legally wedded wife of respondent No.5. Notice of motion was issued and respondent No. 4–the Marriage Registration Officer, Batala was directed to be present in Court along with records. Having heard learned counsel for the parties and after perusal of the original record, prima facie, there appears to be some doubt regarding genuineness of the photographs on record and Marriage Certificate as well as the procedure followed while issuing the same. At the same time, scant material on record, it would not be expedient for the writ Court to form a definite or conclusive opinion with regard to the alleged solemnization of marriage by the petitioner with respondent No. 5. Consequently, and in order to safeguard the interest of both the parties, the Marriage Certificate dated 27.09.2010 [Annexure P-1] is set aside, leaving it open to them to approach the appropriate forum for establishing the validity of their alleged marriage, if so advised. Disposed of. Dasti. October 14, 2010. ( SURYA KANT ) dinesh JUDGE
