The High court has no direct connection with the marriage or court marriage. The High court is a constitutional court and related to the fundamental rights of the citizen provided by the constitution of India. Now here we talk about the Article 21 of the Constitution of India. Article 21 is one of those articles who protect the personal life and personal liberty of the person. The important Components of Article 21 are the following – 1) Person, 2) deprivation of Life, 3) deprivation of personal Liberty, 4) Procedure established by Law.

So Article 21 connected the running Marriage couple and High court with each other. Because running marriage couple has apprehension/threat from some people those are against their marriage. At that time, the Married couple can approach the High court for the protection of their life and personal liberty. According to Article 21 High court is bound to provide the protection of life and liberty after examining the apprehension of the married couple without commenting on the legal validity of the marriage.

Generally, a matter is brought to a court by one of the interested parties. Suo moto cognizance means when the judiciary takes up a matter on its own on grounds of blatant violation of the law, to maintain public order, to prevent the gross constitutional violation, to remedy grave injustice. This kind of cognizance virtually presupposes public at large as one of the parties. Usually, amicus curiae is appointed in such matters to assist the court.

Then Hon’ble High court took the Suo Moto Cognizance in the matter and passed an order against such marriage institution who perform the marriage of running couple without any authorization and High Court issued some guidelines also against the Marriage institution who found guilty.
