Hon’ble Devi Prasad Singh, J.—I have privilege to read the judgment, prepared by Justice A.P. Sahi and Justice Ajai Lamba. I am in respectful agreement with the judgment of Justice A.P. Sahi and the opinion expressed thereon with regard to all the questions framed by the Bench and finding recorded except the answer given to Issue (F) in regard to judgment pronounced in open Court on 19.9.2014 and the power of Hon’ble Chief Justice with regard to withdrawal of part-heard and tied up cases. With regard to finality of judgment, I am in respectful agreement with Brother Justice Ajai Lamba.

At the same time, I feel it proper to record my own reasoning on the issues dealing with live-in relationship which results into culmination of marriage between the parties, public interest vis-a-vis Public Interest Litigation, part-heard and tied up matters and power of Hon’ble Chief Justice with regard to withdrawal of cases.

Brother Justice A.P. Sahi has elaborately dealt with the factual matrix on record while giving answers with regard to the questions agreed by me, hence need not be elaborated in detail. Since Hon’ble Chief Justice has referred the entire case to decide on merit, hence
