W.P.(C) NO. 9952 OF 2009 (L)
=====================
Dated this the 1st day of April, 2009
J U D G M E N T
The prayer sought in this writ petition is to direct the 1st
respondent to register the petitioner’s marriage with a Srilankan
citizen. However, from the statement filed by the 1st respondent,
it would appear that the petitioner along with one Mohammed
Riyal of Colombo presented in his office with a notice of intended
marriage under Section 5 of the Special Marriage Act on
24/11/2008. It is stated that as required under the Act, the notice
was published, but, however during the currency of the notice,
petitioner and Sri.Mohammed Riyal did not appear to get the
marriage registered.
2. Now that there is nothing to show the said averment in
the statement to be incorrect, since the notice period has now
expired, the only course open to the petitioner is to give fresh
notice, in which event, the 1st respondent shall take steps for the
registration of the marriage in accordance with law.
Writ petition is disposed of as above.
ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE
