The thirty days mandatory notice period is not over. The petitioners want the respondent to permit the petitioners to sign the necessary registers and certificates pending registration of the marriage. I am of opinion that the respondent cannot do anything in the matter before expiry of the mandatory notice period of thirty days. Therefore, I do not find any merit in this writ petition and accordingly, the same is dismissed. S. SIRI JAGAN, JUDGE Acd
