High Court
Chandigarh, June 8 The directions came during the hearing of four separate petitions for protection placed before Justice Hemant Gupta, who is currently holding the court during the vacations. The court was of the view that the matter appeared to be doubtful and directed the holding of the probe. This is not the first time the functioning of religious institutions has come under judicial scrutiny. Acting on the directions of the Punjab and Haryana High Court, the Chandigarh police had earlier also submitted an inquiry report against a Sector 22-based mission. The report had underscored the active collusion of some advocates with the institution in performing illegal marriages for runaway couples on payment of large sums of money. The report, submitted to the High Court had stated that the “mission has become a commercial enterprise in connivance with advocates. The inquiries have revealed that the marriages, instead of being solemnised in a temple or a religious place, are being performed in a room of the mission… “It has become an easily approachable destination for runaway couples when they find no other alternative apart from paying a considerable amount of money to the mission”. The report was submitted by the assistant superintendent of police Madhur
Verma.
