Civil Writ Petition No.12768 of 2009
Date of Decision: 24.08.2009
Arvinder Singh and another
Petitioners
Versus
State of Haryana and others
Respondents
CORAM:- HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE JASBIR SINGH
Present: Mr. Nand Lal Sammi, Advocate for the petitioners
.....
Jasbir Singh, J. (Oral)
It is contention of the petitioners that they solemnized
marriage, as per the ceremonies prevalent in their personal law, on 5.7.2009.
They moved an application to get their marriage registered, under the
provisions of the Haryana Compulsory Registration of Marriage Act, 2008,
on 30.7.2009. Nothing has been done by the Registrar. That application is
still pending before respondent No.3. He has not passed any order either
ordering registration or rejecting application of the petitioners.
Counsel for the petitioners states that the petitioners wants to
go to the United Kingdom and non-registration of their marriage is delaying
the same.
In view of facts mentioned above, this writ petition is disposed
of by issuing directions to respondent No.3 to take up and decide
application of the petitioners, as per law, within a period of ten days from
the date of receipt of a copy of this order. If there is no deficiency in the
application moved by the petitioners, their marriage be registered forthwith.
Civil Writ Petition No.12768 of 2009 2
To the contrary, if the officer concerned wishes to reject their claim, on
valid grounds, he shall state the reasons, pass a speaking order and supply a
copy of the same to the petitioners.
