Rs.4.5 lacs on different occasions. In 2024, he paid additional Rs.8 lacs for wedding expenses, however, private respondents refused to solemnize marriage. In March 2026, petitioner and his family members were insulted and threatened by respondent No.6 who refused to marry him. Respondent No.6 was now married in Ferozepur, Representation, Annexure P2 was moved to the police but no action was taken.
3. Notice of motion to official respondents only.
4. Mr. Kunwarbir Singh, AAG Punjab, who is present in Court, accepts notice on behalf of the official respondents. He submits that no representation of the petitioner was received and in case it is received, it would be decided as per law.
5. The petitioner appears to be aggrieved with the act of private respondent No.6 refusing to marry him, in spite of financial assistance received. There is no apparent threat to life and liberty of the petitioner. The only prayer in the representation, Annexure P2 is for legal action against the girl, her mother and father for cheating, betraying trust, causing mental harassment and financial loss. Petitioner is aggrieved of his broken engagement with respondent No.6 and her marriage with some other person. No threat to the life and liberty of the petitioner is perceived, thus, no ground is made out to issue any direction to the official respondents.
6. The petition stands disposed of.
7. Pending miscellaneous applications, if any, stand disposed of. (SHALINI SINGH NAGPAL)
