HC UNIMPRESSED BY CASE AGAINST PRINCE HARRY

Chandigarh: The Punjab and Haryana high court has shattered Palwinder Kaur’s dream of marrying Britain’s Prince Harry — who by all accounts is doing fine with Meghan Markle. Palwinder Kaur, an advocate, appeared in person to fight the case, seeking legal action, including an arrest warrant, against Harry for not fulfilling a promise to marry her. The court of Justice Arvind Singh Sangwan was sympathetic to her, but dismissed the plea on April 8. After hearing the petitioner in person, I find that this petition is nothing but just a daydreamer’s fantasy about marrying Prince Harry, the judge said. And breaking some bad news, he said the so-called Prince Harry may be someone sitting at a cybercaf in a Punjab village. The alleged promise to marry her was made through email. The petitioner had got a little mixed up with the names, tagging part of Harry’s sister-in-law Kate Middleton’s name to his. She sought action against Prince Harry Middleton, son of Prince Charles Middleton, resident of the UK. The petitioner wanted the court to direct the UK police to take action against Harry. She sought arrest warrants against him to prevent any further delay in their marriage. The single-judge bench was unmoved. This petition was very poorly drafted, the judge wrote.
