In the High Court of Punjab and Haryana at Chandigarh Crl.Misc.No.M- 23122 of 2010 (O&M) Date of decision: 06.9.2010 Amandeep Singh and another ......Petitioners Versus State of Punjab and others .......Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MRS. JUSTICE SABINA Present: Mr.H.S.Rakhra, Advocate, for the petitioners. **** SABINA, J. The petitioners have filed this petition under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure for issuance of directions to the official respondents to protect their life and liberty from the hands of private respondents. In support of his arguments, learned counsel for the petitioners has placed reliance on Fiaz Ahmed Ahanger and others vs. State of J& K 2009 (3) RCR (Civil) 217, wherein it was held as under:- “In such cases os intercaste or inter-religion marriage the Court has only to be satisfied about two things:- (1) that the girl is above 18 years of age, in which case, the law regards her as a major vide Section Crl.Misc.No.M- 23122 of 2010 (O&M) -2- 3 of the Indian Majority Act, 1875. A major is deemed by the law to know what is in his or her welfare. (2) The wish of the girl.” However, in the present case, it is apparent from the memo of parties that the petitioners are residents of the State of Rajasthan. In these circumstances, no ground for interference by this Court is made out. The judgment relied up by learned counsel for the petitioners fails to advance the case of the petitioners. Accordingly, this petition is dismissed. (SABINA) JUDGE September 06, 2010 anita
