HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE UMA SHANKER VYAS

Judgment / Order

19/10/2023

Petitioners have preferred this petition seeking

protection of life and liberty.

From perusal of the record, it is revealed that Petitioner No.2 is already married. A live-in- relationship between a married and unmarried person is not permissible.

The pre-requities for a live-in-relationship as held by the Apex Court in "D.Velusamy vs. D. Patchaiammal (2010) 10SCC 469" is that the couple must hold themselves out to society as being akin to spouses and must be of legal age to marry or qualified to enter into a legal marriage, including being unmarried.

Considering all the factual position, this petition is liable to be dismissed. Hence, the criminal writ petition is accordingly dismissed.

Stay application stands disposed.
