RATAN SINGH Vs. STATE OF RAJASTHAN

JUDGEMENT

(1.) THE appellant has filed this application seeking temporary suspension of sentence with reference to the fact that marriage of his daughter is to be solemnised on 01.05.2012 i.e., today.

(2.) THIS application was taken up on 25.04.2012 when the Public Prosecutor was granted time to procure verification. Then on 27.04.2012, the verification as received from the SHO, Police Station, Devgarh District Rajsamand was considered confirming about fixing of the marriage but also containing adverse comments about likelihood of the petitioner absconding. It was also noticed that there was nothing on record to show that the parties to the prospective marriage were of marriageable age. The learned counsel for the appellant was, thus, granted time for filing the necessary affidavit/documents. The matter was, then, taken up on 30.04.2012 and though no documents were filed on behalf of the appellant, the learned Public Prosecutor pointed out that he had instructed the concerned Officers to carry out necessary verification regarding the age and he had received the report that would be filed during the course of day. The matter was, accordingly, adjourned to this date.
