JUDGEMENT
-
(1.)The petitioners, it is stated, are major. The date of birth
of petitioner No.1 as per his middle-standard examination certificate
(Annexure P1) is 2.10.1988 and that of petitioner No.2 as per her
matriculation examination certificate (Annexure P2) is 3.1.1985.
(2.)The petitioners had a liking for each other and therefore,
decided to solemnize their marriage amongst themselves which was
against the wishes of respondents No.6 and 7 who are the elder
brother of petitioner No.1 and brother of petitioner No.2 respectively.
Petitioner No.2 informed her brother (respondent No.7) that she
wanted to marry petitioner No.1, but the brother (respondent No.7) of
petitioner No.2 did not agree for the said marriage and warned
petitioner No.2 not to pursue the matter. The petitioners on their
own, therefore, solemnized their marriage amongst themselves on
25.11.2009 at Arya Samaj, Sector 22-A, Chandigarh. The marriage
certificate (Annexure P3) issued by Arya Samaj, Sector-22A,
Chandigarh and the photographs (Annexures P5 and P6) of marriage
have been placed on record. After marriage, the petitioners are living
as husband and wife at Chandigarh. When respondents No.6 and 7
came to know about the marriage of the petitioners, they instead of
giving blessings to the petitioners came to the house of petitioner
No.1 and started abusing the petitioners for solemnizing the marriage
without their permission. The petitioners apprehend threat to their
life. Therefore, the petitioners approached Senior Superintendent of
Police, Sangrur (respondent No.2) and Senior Superintendent of
Police, Mohali (respondent No.4) and Senior Superintendent of
Police, Chandigarh (respondent No.5) for providing them adequate
security. A representation (Annexure P4) has also been submitted by
petitioner No.1 to the Senior Superintendent of Police, Mohali
(respondent No.4) with copies to Senior Superintendent of Police,
Chandigarh (UT) (respondent No.5), Senior Superintendent of Police,
Sangrur (respondent No.2) and SHO, Police Station City Sunam
(respondent No.3). Despite the said representation, the threat to the
petitioners, it is submitted, persists. Therefore, they have approached
this Court.
(3.)Both the petitioners are present in Court and are
identified by their counsel. It is stated by petitioner No.2 that she has
solemnized her marriage with petitioner No.1 of her own free will and
desire and without any kind of pressure or undue influence. She is
happy with her marriage.
