Hon'ble Krishna Murari,J.
We have heard learned counsel for the petitioners and learned standing counsel appearing for the respondents.
In paragraphs 4 and 5 of the writ petition, it is stated that the petitioners are major and the age of petitioner no. 1 is 19 years and petitioner no. 2 is 26 years. In paragraph 6 of the petition it is stated that the petitioner no. 1 entered into Nikahanama with the petitioner no. 2 on 14.05.2010 out of their own free will. The petitioners have appeared before us and stated that they have entered into Nikahnama with each other on 14.05.2010 out of their own free will and volition and since then they are living together as husband and wife. They have filed copy of the Nikahnama as Annexure-1.
Both of them have appeared before us and they appear to be major and it is open to a major person in this country to live freely with any one and to marry anyone of his/her choice. The petitioners have further stated that they are living together as husband and wife but the police authorities and other persons are harassing them and are interfering in their marital life. Since the petitioners are major and have married each other, we direct the police authorities to ensure that they are not harassed in any manner either by the police authorities or by any other person and they may be permitted to live as husband and wife. The petitioners shall file a joint supplementary affidavit affixing their pair photographs today which shall form part of this order.
With the aforesaid directions, this petition stands finally disposed of.
Office is directed to issue a certified copy of this order along with joint supplementary affidavit as part thereof on payment of usual charges today.
Order Date :- 18.6.2010 yachna
